day and notify you if it has changed.

Update Mac Clients
Important
Update the server software prior to updating the client software. The server update and the Mac
client update are downloaded at the same time through the HP Update mechanism in the Windows
Home Server Console. Updating the server ensures that the most recent copy of the HP MSS
Client.dmg is on your server and ready to install. See
Updating and Rolling Back the Server for
more information.
1. From the HP Data Vault menu, choose Open Preferences.
2. Click the Software Update tab.
3. Click Check Now.
If the HP MSS Client.dmg file on the server has changed, you will be prompted to install the file.
The HP MSS Client.dmg may have changed because an update was downloaded from HP or
because the server administrator rolled back the server software.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen for installing the file.
Roll Back Mac Clients
1. First, roll back the server software.
When the server is rolled back using the HP Update mechanism in the Windows Home Server
Console, it also rolls back the HP MSS Client.dmg file that is located on the server. See
Updating and Rolling Back the Server for more information.
