The Control Center provides the following capabilities for managing the Dr.Web Server software:
•Updating the Dr.Web Server software to one of the available versions downloaded from the GUS and stored in the Dr.Web Server repository. The settings for updating the repository from the GUS are described in section Administration of Dr.Web Server Repository.
•Rolling back the Dr.Web Server software to a saved backup copy. Dr.Web Server backups are created automatically when updating to a newer version in the Dr.Web Server Updates section (step 4 in the procedure below).
|
Dr.Web Server can be also upgraded using the Dr.Web Server distribution kit. The procedure is described in the Installation Manual, section Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Windows OS or Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Unix-like OS.
Not all Dr.Web Server updates have the distribution kit file. Some of them can be installed via the Control Center only.
The Dr.Web Server version in the OS package manager does not change after updating Dr.Web Server under a Unix-like OS using the Control Center. |

Backup copies are saved in the following folder:
•Windows: <installation_folder>\var\update\backup\<old_version>-<new_version> (default installation folder is C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server)
•Linux: /var/opt/drwcs/update/backup/<old_version>-<new_version>
•FreeBSD: /var/drwcs/update/backup/<old_version>-<new_version>
During an update, a log file is created or modified:
•Windows: <installation_folder>\var\dwupdater.log
•Linux: /var/opt/drwcs/log/dwupdater.log
•FreeBSD: /var/drwcs/log/dwupdater.log
