Select System Software and Rule Updates during Restore
You can optionally use the restore utility to update the system software and intrusion rules after the appliance
is restored to the base version in the ISO image. Note that only FMCs require rule updates.
The restore utility can use only one system software update and one rule update. However, system updates
are cumulative back to the last major version; rule updates are also cumulative. We recommend that you obtain
the latest updates available for your appliance; see
