 Refer to the following steps to convert your AhsayCBS in replication receiver mode to a backup server:
 <br/>

 <span style="font-style: italic">
  <b>
   Note
  </b>
  : It is assumed that the first cycle of replication from the sender to the receiver had been completed.

 <ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
  <li><font color=black>
   Check on the Receiver's Setting.
   <span>
   </b>
   Make note of the
   <b>
    Default Home Directory
   </b>
   and
   <b>
    Replication Home
   </b>
   settings.
   <br/>
   <br/>
   <ul>
    <li><font color=black>
     On the AhsayCBS in replication receiver mode, login to the AhsayCBS web console.
     <br/>
     <br/>
    </font></li>
    <li><font color=black>
     Confirm on the replication receiver's settings.
     <span>
     </b>
     Under
     <b>
      Replication
     </b>
     , select
     <b>
      Accepting Data
     </b>
     .
     <br/>
     <br/>
    </font></li>
    <li><font color=black>
     Check on the
     <b>
      Default Home Directory
     </b>
     setting, as well as the
     <b>
      Replication Home
     </b>
     setting.

     <br/>
     <br/>
     <b>
      Default Home Directory
     </b>
     is where the replication sender's System Home, user settings, and configuration settings are stored (in the app folder).
     <br/>
        <img style="width:75%; border:thin solid black" src="http://wiki.ahsay.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=public:5208_1.png"/>

     <br/>
     For example purpose (
     <a name="Step%201%20example">
      Step 1 example
     </a>
     ), the following settings will be used:
     <br/>
     <br/>
     Default Home Directory is set to C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\system\rps\rcvshome\receiver
     <br/>
     Replication Home is set to E:\Receiver Home
    </font></li>
   </ul>
   <br/>
  </font></li>
  <li><font color=black>
   Configure the Software License.
   <br/>
   <br/>
   <ul>
    <li><font color=black>
     On the AhsayCBS in replication receiver mode, login to the AhsayCBS web console.
     <br/>
     <br/>
    </font></li>
    <li><font color=black>
     Under
     <b>
      System Settings
     </b>
     , select
     <b>
      Licenses
     </b>
     , then apply the AhsayCBS license (the license from the AhsayCBS in backup server mode).
     <br/>
     <br/>
     This will ensure that there are sufficient
     <b>
      Client Software
     </b>
     and
     <b>
      Add-on Modules
     </b>
     available to the backup users after the switch.
     <br/>
     <br/>
    </font></li>
    <li><font color=black>
     Press
     <b>
      Update
     </b>
     , then
     <b>
      Save
     </b>
     .
     <br/>
     <br/>
     Ensure that the license information are properly applied by checking the
     <b>
      Client Software
     </b>
     and
     <b>
      Add-on Modules
     </b>
     settings under License Details.

       </b>
       Failure to do so may result in backup accounts being suspended and all backup settings being reset.
       <br/>
       <br/>
       Also, ensure to shutdown the AhsayCBS in backup server mode, so that you are not running two servers with the same AhsayCBS license.
