Enable nightly updates if you like the updates to be installed automatic as soon as they are released.
If you have any packages listed in Available updates select the one you like to install and click Install. During the update process you will not be able to start an other update.
Backup now
Starting from op5 Appliance system 3.5 you can make manual backups.
There are two types of backups that can be made here:
default
change arch
The default backup type will backup up the same things that are backed up in the automated one.
The change arch backup is excluding things like binaries and other archetecture dependet stuff. This make the arch backup perfect to use if you are changing from op5 appliance system 32 bits to 64 bits.
