Description

This document contains instruction on how to move a backup user from one AhsayCBS server to another AhsayCBS server under the same Redirector host.

Steps

The following assumptions are made:

  • AhsayCBS A and AhsayCBS B are in the same Redirector setup (AhsayCBS C).
  • AhsayCBS A, AhsayCBS B and AhsayCBS C are all patched to version 7.15.4.10.
  • Backup user Username will be moved from AhsayCBS A to AhsayCBS B.
  • Backup data are stored on the AhsayCBS server. Data on cloud storage or pre-defined destination are not supported.
  • Both AhsayCBS A and AhsayCBS B can be accessed physically (for best result).
Important: For best result (performance and stability wise), it is recommended that the export and import of the backup user is performed directly on the corresponding AhsayCBS server, or in the same LAN environment.

It is also recommended to suspend the backup user to be moved, to ensure that no backup / restore job is performed during the migration.


  1. On the original AhsayCBS server (AhsayCBS A), export the backup user settings and data:

    1. Login to the AhsayCBS web console (AhsayCBS A's web console).

    2. Under Backup / Restore, select Users, Groups & Policies.

    3. Under Backup User, select the checkbox beside the backup user to be moved.

    4. Select the Move / Import / Export Users icon under Manage Backup User.


    5. Export the user settings and data by selecting the radio button beside Export user to file, also select the checkbox to Include backup files.

    6. Click on the OK button to save the "users.zip" file.

      Important: For backup user with large amount of data, please perform the user data export at a time when the resource usage is low on the AhsayCBS server.

      Also, if the "users.zip" file is not saved to a local destination, ensure that the network between the AhsayCBS server and the save destination remain stable throughout the export process.

    7. Copy the "users.zip" file to the new AhsayCBS server (AhsayCBS B).

    8. Important: For best result (performance and stability wise), it is recommended that the "users.zip" file is copied directly onto the destination AhsayCBS server, or a network drive in the same LAN environment.


  2. On the original AhsayCBS server (AhsayCBS A), delete the existing user to be moved.

    1. (Optional) Backup the user to be moved by making a copy of its user home folder to outside of the user home.

      For example, make a copy of

      C:\UserHome\Username

      To

      C:\AnotherLocation\Username

      Note: Copy the user home folder of the user to another volume, if the same volume does not have sufficient disk space.

    2. Login to the AhsayCBS web console (AhsayCBS A's web console).

    3. Under Backup / Restore, select Users, Groups & Policies.

    4. Under Backup User, select the checkbox beside the backup user to be moved.

    5. Select the Delete icon under Manage Backup User.

    6. Click OK when prompted to confirm deletion of the selected row.

    7. Click Save afterward to save the change.


  3. On the new AhsayCBS server (AhsayCBS B), import the backup user settings and data:

    1. Login to the AhsayCBS web console (AhsayCBS B's web console).

    2. Under Backup / Restore, select Users, Groups & Policies.

    3. Under Backup User, select the Move / Import / Export Users icon.

    4. Import the user settings and data by selecting the radio button beside Import users to.

    5. From the dropdown box, select the user home for the user to be moved to.

    6. Click on the Browse button beside Exported zip file.

    7. Select the "users.zip" file (exported from Step 1 previously).

    8. Click on the OK button to start the import process.


  4. Confirm if the backup user is moved properly:

    1. Login to the AhsayCBS web console (AhsayCBS B's web console).

    2. Under Backup / Restore, select Users, Groups & Policies.

    3. Confirm if the backup user is listed under Backup User.
