AhsayCBS v8.5.2 New Features


Change Mobile Backup Destination

AhsayOBM/AhsayACB v8.5.2.0 and above now offers the feature to change the mobile backup destination.

Same Machine

These are scenarios upon changing the mobile backup destination to a new location in the same local machine:

  • Move to a new location in the same machine with enabled Free up space.

    If Free up space is enabled on the Ahsay Mobile app, it is strongly recommended to copy the previously backed-up photos and videos to the new location to prevent missing data. As some of the backed-up photos and videos have already been removed from the mobile device.

    In case the previously backed-up photos and videos were not copied to the new location, even though the backup will re-upload all the photos and videos again from the mobile device, this will not include the photos and videos removed by the Free up space feature.
  • Move to a new location in the same machine with disabled Free up space.

    If Free up space is disabled on the Ahsay Mobile app, there are two (2) options available, copy the previously backed-up photos and videos to the new location or continue to backup in the new location.

    In case the previously backed-up photos and videos were not copied to the new location, the backup will re-upload all the photos and videos again from the mobile device.

New Machine

  • Move to a new machine with enabled or disabled Free up space due to upgrade.

    If the machine needs upgrading, the previously backed-up photos and videos are still available.

    If Free up space is enabled on the Ahsay Mobile app, it is strongly recommended to copy the previously backed-up photos and videos to the new machine to prevent missing data. As some of the backed-up photos and videos have already been removed from the mobile device.

    Even If Free up space is disabled, it is recommended to copy the previously backed-up photos and videos to the new machine otherwise the photos and videos on the mobile device will be backed-up again from scratch.

NOTES:

  • If the machine is lost/stolen, changing the mobile destination is not supported as it is required to re-register your mobile devices on AhsayOBM and perform backup of photos and videos again.
  • Changing the mobile backup destination from a new Windows machine to macOS machine or macOS machine to Windows machine are supported.
