This article explains how to import data from a an AhsayCBS replication sender directly onto an AhsayCBS replication receiver, bypassing the Internet. This procedure can be used for backup set with large data size and or network with slow connection speed.

Note: Click Here for instruction on Linux.

Steps

Refer to the following steps for details:

1. First, locate the backup data (e.g. data in the User Home on AhsayCBS).

  • Login to the AhsayCBS web console.

  • Under Backup / Restore, select User, Groups, Policies, then the corresponding backup user that you want to import the data for:



  • Identify the directory path under Home Directory:



  • Browse to the Home Directory of the backup user:



  • Copy the corresponding backup set data (e.g. %Home_Directory%\username\%backupset_id\*) onto a removable hard disk, for example copy:

    C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\user\username\1614242291744

    to the removable hard disk.

    Important: Do not perform another backup job while the data are being copied from the removable hard drive to the user home path on AhsayCBS.

    Administrator can:

    • Temporarily suspend the backup user while the data are being copied, and
    • Temporarily disable the backup schedule(s) of the corresponding backup set.

  • Move the removable hard disk to the data center or the location where the AhsayCBS replication receiver is located.

2. Next, copy the data from the removable hard drive to the replication receiver home of the corresponding backup user.

  • In the client user interface, select the 'Backup' tile:



  • Select the corresponding backup set for backup:



  • Click on the 'Show advanced option' button, ensure that the 'In-File Delta' type is set to 'Full'.

  • Under 'Destination', deselect all destinations except for the newly created local destination:



  • Click 'Backup' to start the initial backup.

3. Import the data from the local destination (e.g. the removable hard drive) to the AhsayCBS and Predefined destination (e.g. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox).

  • To import the data to AhsayCBS, copy the data (the entire 'backupset_id' folder) from the removable drive at:

    %Local_Destination%/%backupset_id%/*

    to the user home path of the corresponding backup user at:

    %User_Home%/username/

    For example:

    %Local_Destination%/1614311678846/*

    to

    %User_Home%/username/1614311678846/*

    Important: Do not perform another backup job while the data are being copied from the removable hard drive to the backup destination.

    Administrator can:

    • Temporarily suspend the backup user while the data are being copied, and
    • Temporarily disable the backup schedule(s) of the corresponding backup set.


  • To import the data to a Google Drive destination, copy the data (the entire 'backupset_id' folder) from the removable drive at:

    %Local_Destination%\%backupset_id%\*

    to the corresponding location on Google Drive at:

    My Drive > Ahsay > %backupset_id%



    For example:

    %Local_Destination%\1614311678846\*

    to

    My Drive > Ahsay > 1614311678846

    Important: Do not perform another backup job while the data are being copied from the removable hard drive to the user home path on AhsayCBS.

    Administrator can:

    • Temporarily suspend the backup user while the data are being copied, and
    • Temporarily disable the backup schedule(s) of the corresponding backup set.


  • To import the data to a OneDrive destination, copy the data (the entire 'backupset_id' folder) from the removable drive at:

    %Local_Destination%\%backupset_id%\*

    to the corresponding location on OneDrive at:

    My files > Apps > Ahsay > %backupset_id%



    For example:

    %Local_Destination%\1614311678846\*

    to

    My Drive > Ahsay > 1614311678846

    Important: Do not perform another backup job while the data are being copied from the removable hard drive to the user home path on AhsayCBS.

    Administrator can:

    • Temporarily suspend the backup user while the data are being copied, and
    • Temporarily disable the backup schedule(s) of the corresponding backup set.


  • To import the data to a Dropbox destination, copy the data (the entire 'backupset_id' folder) from the removable drive at:

    %Local_Destination%\%backupset_id%\*

    to the corresponding location on Dropbox at:

    Dropbox > Apps > Ahsay > %backupset_id%



    For example:

    %Local_Destination%\1614311678846\*

    to

    My Drive > Ahsay > 1614311678846

    Important: Do not perform another backup job while the data are being copied from the removable hard drive to the user home path on AhsayCBS.

    Administrator can:

    • Temporarily suspend the backup user while the data are being copied, and
    • Temporarily disable the backup schedule(s) of the corresponding backup set.

4. Perform a Data Integrity Check for the corresponding backup set.

  • Login to the AhsayOBM / ACB client user interface.

  • Select the 'Utilities' tile, "Data Integrity Check", then the corresponding backup set and backup destination.

  • Then click "Start":


5. The import procedure is completed.

  • Re-enable the backup user and / or backup schedule(s), then remove the local destination (e.g. the removable hard drive) afterward:

Important: It is strongly recommended that all backup sets are configured to backup to multiple backup destinations, to provide user with data redundancy and backup / restore flexibility.
