| OpenDirect restore is an additional restore options for restoring files from a Windows File backup set in AhsayOBM and AhsayACB client backup software. The OpenDirect restore method makes use of the granular restore technology to make selective restore of individual files from a large compressed or image file, for example zip, RAR, ISO files, without the need to restore the compressed or image file first, to give you a fast and convenient file restore solution. | OpenDirect restore is an additional restore options for restoring files from a Windows File backup set in AhsayOBM and AhsayACB client backup software.

| + | ==== Network Requirements ==== | ||
| + | Recommended minimum network speed is at least 100Mbps download speed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The network bandwidth requirements will increase in proportion to the size of the compressed file/image and or the incremental delta chain length to ensure optimal performance. Working with limited network bandwidth may severely affect the granular restore performance. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use an online network speed test website (e.g. [[http://www.speedtest.net|speedtest.net]]) to get an idea of the actual bandwidth of the machine. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Permissions ==== | ||
| + | The Windows login account used for installation and operation of the AhsayOBM client machine requires Administrator privileges. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Other Dependencies ==== | ||
| + | The following dependencies are restore related and therefore they will be checked by AhsayOBM / AhsayACB only when an OpenDirect restore is performed. Absence of these elements will not affect the backup job but would cause the restore to fail. | ||
