Can it cope with a back-log?  Has anyone tried?  I can't suck-it-and-see on 
any of my own systems because they are all up to date.  

Two of my clients' systems are horribly out of date; Teamviewer is playing up; 
I haven't sussed port forwarding via that router and on a Dynamic IP, and I 
am having difficulty getting physical access.  I am sure that I could talk 
one of them through installing unattended-upgrades if it could then sort out 
the much-needed security updates.  The rest can wait for the other problems 
to be solved!!
