Please Read Before Updating
Before installing any firmware version, be sure to make a backup of 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 upgrade, unless otherwise instructed by Barracuda Networks Technical Support. The update process typically takes only a few minutes after the update is applied. However, the process can take up to 15 minutes for systems that have a large number of services. If the process takes longer, please contact Technical Support for further assistance.
