When you schedule automatic updates through Backup Exec, the settings apply only to updates for Backup Exec. Changes that you make to the LiveUpdate schedule for Backup Exec do not affect the schedule for any other software applications that use LiveUpdate.
At the scheduled time, LiveUpdate automatically connects to the appropriate Web site, and then determines if your files need to be updated. Depending on the options that you select, Backup Exec either downloads and installs the files in the proper location or sends an alert to notify you that updates are available.
Backup Exec sends the following LiveUpdate alerts:
