# Installing Updates

Use the Veeam Updater service to download and install new product versions and available package updates . You can also [set a reminder to send update notifications](#reminder)

::: important

Veeam Backup for Salesforce does not allow you to schedule the update installation as it may cause interrupting of running activities, which may result in unpredictable data loss. It is recommended that you make sure that all backup policies are disabled and restore jobs are finished before you install a product update.

## Installing Updates {#install}

To download and install available product and package updates:

1. Open the **Veeam Updater** page. To do that:

   1. Switch to the **Configuration** page.
   2. Navigate to **About**.
   3. In the **Veeam Backup for Salesforce** section, click **Check for Updates**.

2. On the **Veeam Updater** page, do the following:

   1. In the **Updates are available for this system** section, select check boxes next to the necessary updates.
   2. In the **Choose action** section, select the **Install updates now** option, select the **Reboot automatically after install if required** check box to allow Veeam Backup for Salesforce to reboot the server if needed, and then click **Install Updates Now**.

Veeam Backup for Salesforce will download and install the updates; the results of the installation process will be displayed on the **History** tab. Keep in mind that it may take several minutes for the installation process to complete.

::: note

When installing product updates, Veeam Backup for Salesforce restarts all services running on the management server, including the Web UI service. That is why Veeam Backup for Salesforce will log you out when the update process completes.

## Setting Update Reminder {#reminder}

To do that, on the **Veeam Updater** page, in the **Choose action** section, do the following:
