====== Ahsay Upgrade Advisory (#30957) – Critical Issue on AhsayOBM/AhsayACB v8 Windows File Backup Sets with Volume Shadow Copy Enabled======

We have recently confirmed a critical issue related to AhsayOBM/AhsayACB File Backup Sets running on Windows with Volume Shadow Copy enabled. If the root of the drive(s) are selected as the backup source, the backup job will always report as completed successfully but in fact no files are actually backed up.

===== What are the affected AhsayOBM/AhsayACB versions? =====
  * AhsayOBM v8.5.2.33
  * AhsayACB v8.5.2.33

===== How do I identify the affected Windows File Backup Sets? =====
  * To verify if the root of the drives are selected check the Advanced Backup Source.

Partners are strongly advised to immediately: 
  * Upgrade all affected **Windows clients with File Backup Sets to AhsayOBM/AhsayACB v8.5.2.62 or above**. 
  * After upgrading to **AhsayOBM/AhsayACB v8.5.2.62 or above**, the next backup job will automatically upload any files which were missed previously, if they still exist on the drive(s).
