Each time you start the management console, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 checks whether a new version of the software is available on the Acronis Web site. If so, the software provides a link for downloading a setup program of the new version.
To check for updates manually, start the management console and then click Help > Check for updates. In that window, you also can disable the automatic checks for updates.
For information about updating Acronis Backup & Recovery 11, see the “Update” section (for local installation in Windows) or the corresponding installation section (for other ways of installation).
