Updating computers / Configuring the update manager |
By default, an update manager checks the Sophos databank for threat detection data updates every 10 minutes.
You can change this update interval. The minimum is 5 minutes and the maximum 1440 minutes (24 hours). We recommend an update interval of 10 minutes for threat detection data, so that you receive protection from new threats promptly after the detection data is published by Sophos.
By default, an update manager checks the Sophos databank for software updates every 60 minutes.
You can change this update interval. The minimum is 10 minutes and the maximum 1440 minutes (24 hours).
For software updates, you can either specify an update interval that is used every hour of every day, or you can create more sophisticated schedules, in which each day can be specified independently and each day can be divided into periods with different update intervals.
In the Update schedule dialog box, enter a name for the schedule, select the days of the week, and update intervals.
