Figure 2.7: Update Options
Backup
During the update, the configuration files of some packages may be re-
placed by those of the new version. As you may have modified some of the
files in your current system, the package manager normally makes backup
copies of the replaced files. With this dialog, determine the scope of these
backups.
Note
Scope of the Backup
This backup does not include the software. It only contains con-
figuration files.
Note
Important Information about Updates
The system update is a very complex procedure. For each program pack-
age, YaST must check which version is installed on the computer and what
needs to be done to replace the old version with the new version correctly.
YaST also tries to adopt any personal settings of the installed packages.
