- Select or clear the Automatically update RAS Session Host Agents option according to your needs.
- To check for updates manually, click the Check Now button.
Backing up the Parallels RAS Farm configuration
To backup the Parallels RAS Farm configuration:
- Select the Administration category and then click the Settings tab.

To restore a Parallels RAS Farm configuration from a backup file, click the Import Settings button and select a backup file (the default file extension is .dat2
). When you import a configuration from a file, your existing Farm configuration will be completely replaced with it.
