There is an Update Release process for Solstice BackupTM Software that provides a cost-effective solution to allow customers to update their Solstice Backup Software installation to the 6.1 release. Older versions of Solstice Backup Software are being removed from the price list. The update release kits include a Solstice Backup 6.1 Software media kit along with the update enabler. Together these items are used to activate installation of the 6.1 version of all components in place of the older version. The update process does not add components or licenses. In some cases new licenses will have to be applied to maintain full support or coverage. Solstice Backup Software is targeted at professional IT operations staff that handle the backup, restore and disaster recovery tasks for customers.
