You can set this to 'Yes' or 'No' for whichever admins you wish (default is no, super admins will ignore this and be able to upgrade the board regardless).

Firstly navigate to the MyBBatically module. This can be found in ACP > Tools & Maintenance > MyBBatically
While on the 'Statistics' tab, you will see an overview of the version of MyBB you're currently running and the latest version of MyBB currently available.

While on the 'Backup' tab, you will have the option to backup your files and your database prior to upgrading.
