install updates. You can configure the following:

As you define the installation schedule for firmware updates, you have the option to
request a full system backup before the firmware is installed. This backup provides a way
to restore your appliance to its state before the firmware was installed. If you need to
uninstall the firmware update, you have a full system backup that you can restore.
