Before installing any firmware version, back up your configuration and read all release notes that apply to versions more recent than the one currently running on your system.
Do not manually reboot your system at any time during an update unless otherwise instructed by Barracuda Networks Technical Support. Depending on your current firmware version and other system factors, updating can take up to 10 minutes. If the process takes longer, contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support for further assistance.
