ATTENTION 1st January, 2022: v7 officially End-of-Life [details]
This article contains instruction on how to start an AhsayCBS (in replication receiver mode) as a backup server (e.g. AhsayCBS in backup server mode).
Refer to the following steps to convert your AhsayCBS in replication receiver mode to a backup server:
Note
: It is assumed that the first cycle of replication from the sender to the receiver had been completed.
Default Home Directory
is where the replication sender's System Home, user settings, and configuration settings are stored (in the app folder).
Replication Home
is the location where users' backup data and logs are stored.
For example purpose (
Step 1 example
), the following settings will be used:
Default Home Directory is set to C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\system\rps\rcvshome\receiver
Replication Home is set to E:\Receiver Home
This will ensure that there are sufficient
Client Software
and
Add-on Modules
available to the backup users after the switch.
Ensure that the license information are properly applied by checking the
Client Software
and
Add-on Modules
settings under License Details.
Important
: Before continuing on with the next step, ensure that the license is properly applied.
Failure to do so may result in backup accounts being suspended and all backup settings being reset.
Also, ensure to shutdown the AhsayCBS in backup server mode, so that you are not running two servers with the same AhsayCBS license.
Note
: For AhsayCBS version 7.9.0.0 or above, shutdown the AhsayCBS and AhsayCBS NFS services.
Extract
%Default Home Directory%\app\conf\conf.zip
to
%AhsayCBS Install Home%\conf\*
Using the
example in Step 1
, extract content of
C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\system\rps\rcvshome\receiver\app\conf\conf.zip
to
C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\conf
Copy
%Default Home Directory%\app\system\*
to
%AhsayCBS System Home%\*
Using the
example in Step 1
, copy the content of
C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\system\rps\rcvshome\receiver\app\system\*
to
C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\system
Note
: If you are planning to change the system home location, copy the replicated system home to the new system home location instead
Copy
%Replication Home%\%username%
to
%AhsayCBS User Home%\*
Important
: Do not copy over the folder in YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss format.
Using the
example in Step 1
, copy the content of
E:\Receiver Home\*
to
C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\user
Note
: If you are planning to change the user home location, copy the replicated user home to the new user home location instead
Note
: For AhsayCBS version 7.9.0.0 or above, startup the AhsayCBS and AhsayCBS NFS services.
Modify the
System Home
setting under
System Settings
>
Basic
if necessary (e.g. if you had copied the replicated system home to a new location in the previous step).
Modify the
User Home
setting under
Backup / Restore
>
Basic
if necessary (e.g. if you had copied the replicated user home to a new location in the previous step).
Note
: For AhsayCBS installation on Linux platforms, the conversion procedure is the same except all directory paths are in the Linux convention.
