Download and Install patches automatically Note: If a Staging Server cannot be configured, then you can directly attach to the Arcserve Support site.

If you attempt to use your local host machine as the staging server it will be an invalid configuration because the staging server cannot connect to itself to get and download the available patches from. Note: You cannot specify your same local host machine as this staging server. All patch information and downloads will be sent from this staging server to the client. If you select this option, you must also specify the location (IP address or host server name) for the staging server. Specifies the HTTP location address for the server that will be used as a staging server. Note: Arcserve Backup Patch Manager only supports HTTP communication. Arcserve Backup Patch Manager will automatically connect to a pre-configured HTTP server to download the new available patches either to the Staging Server or to the Client. Specifies the HTTP location directory on the Arcserve Support server. The General Settings tab of the Preferences dialog allows you to specify the Download Server and Easy Update settings that will be used for this job.
