 OpenDirect restore is an additional restore options for restoring files from a Windows File backup set in AhsayOBM and AhsayACB client backup software. The OpenDirect restore method makes use of the granular restore technology to make selective restore of individual files from a large compressed or image file, for example zip, RAR, ISO files, without the need to restore the compressed or image file first, to give you a fast and convenient file restore solution. ​ OpenDirect restore is an additional restore options for restoring files from a Windows File backup set in AhsayOBM and AhsayACB client backup software.

 +==== Temporary Directory Requirement ====  
 +The temporary directory folder should have at least the same available size as the compressed file to be restored and should be located on a local drive to ensure optimal performance. 
 + 
 +==== Available Spare Drive Letter ====  
 +One spare drive letter must be available on the Windows machine ​for the OpenDirect ​restore process, as the compressed file or image is mounted on Windows ​as a logical drive. AhsayOBM / AhsayACB will automatically take the next available drive letter in alphabetical order for the compressed or image file.  
 + 
 +<WRAP info> 
 +  - The Windows drive letters A, B, and C are not used by OpenDirect restore. 
 +  - The OpenDirect restore assigned drive letter(s) will be released once you exit from AhsayOBM / AhsayACB UI.

 +==== Network Requirements ====  
 +Recommended minimum network speed is at least 100Mbps download speed.  
 + 
 +The network bandwidth requirements will increase in proportion to the size of the compressed file/image and or the incremental delta chain length to ensure optimal performance. Working with limited network bandwidth may severely affect the granular restore performance.  
 + 
 +You can use an online network speed test website (e.g. [[http://​www.speedtest.net|speedtest.net]]) to get an idea of the actual bandwidth of the machine.  
 + 
 +==== Permissions ====  
 +The Windows login account used for installation and operation of the AhsayOBM client machine requires Administrator privileges
