Control Center provides the following features for managing Dr.Web Server software:
•Update the Server software to one of the available versions downloaded from the GUS and stored in the Server repository. Description of settings for updating the repository from GUS, is given in the Administration of Dr.Web Server Repository section.
•Rollback the Server software to the saved backup. The Server backups are created automatically during update to the new version in the Dr.Web Server Updates section (step 4 in the procedure below).

Upgrading the Server within version 10 can be also performed via the Server distribution kit. The procedure is described in the Installation Manual, in the Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Windows® OS or Upgrading Dr.Web Server for UNIX® System-Based OS sections.
