The McAfee Online Backup backup software is set by default to update automatically when new versions become available. However, you can manually update the backup software any time. You may need to do this if you have disabled automatic updates, or if you ever an issue with the automatic update feature.
The manual update process is similar to the initial installation process; you download and install the backup software. However, when you update manually, you do not typically need to uninstall the current version of the software, and you might not need to provide your account credentials as you do with an initial installation.
If you are in Windows and an update is available, you
can right-click the McAfee Online Backup icon
in the notification area and select
Update McAfee Online Backup in the menu to update
the software. If no updates are available, this menu option is hidden.
