Abstract

A method and an apparatus for updating a stored version of content stored in a storage device to an updated version using an update package. The update package is adapted for updating an original version of content to the updated version. In addition updating is carried out in accordance with an update sequence. A determination is made whether the stored version is the original version or an intermediate version derived therefrom. If the stored version is an intermediate version, a resume location in the stored version is determined, and if the stored version is determined to be an original version or an intermediate version, the update package is used to update the stored version to the updated version starting from the resume location.
