4.2.1.2.4 Creating update copies - Mirror
ESET Mail Security allows you to create copies of update files which can be used to update other workstations
located in the network. Updating client workstations from a Mirror optimizes network load balance and saves
Internet connection bandwidth.
Configuration options for the local Mirror server are accessible (after adding a valid license key in the license
manager, located in the ESET Mail Security Advanced Setup section) in the Advanced update setup: section. To
access this section, press F5 and click Update in the Advanced Setup tree, then click the Setup... button next to
Advanced update setup: and select the Mirror tab).
The first step in configuring the Mirror is to select the Create update mirror option. Selecting this option activates
other Mirror configuration options such as the way update files will be accessed and the update path to the
mirrored files.
The methods of Mirror activation are described in detail in section Updating from the Mirror . For now, note that
there are two basic methods for accessing the Mirror – the folder with update files can be presented as a shared
network folder or as an HTTP server.
The folder dedicated to storing update files for the Mirror is defined in the Folder to store mirrored files section.
Click Folder… to browse for a folder on the local computer or shared network folder. If authorization for the
specified folder is required, authentication data must be supplied in the Username and Password fields. The
username and password should be entered in the format Domain/ User or Workgroup/User. Please remember to
supply the corresponding passwords.
When configuring the Mirror, you can also specify the language versions for which you want to download update
copies. Language version setup is accessible in the section Files - Available versions:.
NOTE: It is not possible for Antispam database to be updated from the mirror. To read more information on how to
allow for correct Antispam database updates, click here .
