Abstract

A system for updating an agent used in a backup software program. The backup software program (310) operates on a network (120) having, for example, a server (110) and a number of workstation (C1, C2, Cn). A backup engine (310) executes on the server. An agent (320) executes on each of the workstations (C1, C2, Cn). The backup engine (310) transmits en updated agent (310a) to each workstation, transmits an executable regeneration module to each workstation and transmits an execute command (330) to the agent at each workstation. The agent at each workstation stores the updated agent and the executable regeneration module and causes the execution of the executable regeneration module. The executable regeneration module (340) deletes or renames the agent, and also renames the updated agent to the name of the agent and thereafter enables operation of the updated agent as the agent.
