After upgrading the backup server from version 6 to 7.5.0.0 or above, how do I run a single backup set rebuild for legacy backup set that was created in version 6, via the AhsayCBS console if the client application is not upgraded?

Steps:
To run a single backup set rebuild, login to the AhsayCBS console, select [Users, Groups & Policies]:

1. Select the corresponding backup account, then [Backup Set].
   
   
2. Select the corresponding backup set, then click [Destination].
   
   
3. Under Standard Destination, beside the CBS Destination Storage, click on the Rebuild button.
   
   

To run a user rebuild for a single or multiple users, select [Users, Groups & Policies]:

1. Under [Backup User], select the check box beside the backup account(s) that you would like to perform a backup set rebuild for.
   
   
2. Click on the [Rebuild Storage Statistic] button (right most circular button under [Manage Backup User]):
   
   

Note: Note that a backup set rebuild can only be started when there is no backup job running (of the corresponding backup set), and vice versa.

The time taken to complete a rebuild depends on number of factors such as the number of files / folders in the backup set(s), the number of backup sets, the hardware specifications of your AhsayCBS server such as the disk I/O and CPU performance, and if there are other resource intensive jobs running.


To check the progress of a backup set rebuild you can go to AhsayCBS console, select [Backup / Restore Logs]:



Select [Activities Log], when the rebuild job is started the following log entry can be found:

Timestamp	Login Name	Owner	Type	Message
	...	...	...	...
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss	username		RoutineJobInfo	Rebuild-username Starting single user rebuild

When the rebuild job is completed, the following log entry can be found:

Timestamp	Login Name	Owner	Type	Message
	...	...	...	...
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss	username		RoutineJobInfo	Rebuild-username [SingleBackupSetRebuild] Finished single backup set rebuild.
