update means something like

sudo dnf update

or something …

apt-get upgrade
apt-get update

    Probably every 2 months. When I have a day off work with nothing to do. I have a few VMs that are more fragile than I want to admit and if something breaks I want to have time to tinker instead of just restoring a backup.
