Run a Backup Job


Microsoft Hyper-V Backup Set

  1. Click the Backup icon on the main interface of AhsayOBM.

    success

  2. Select the Hyper-V backup set which you would like to start a manual backup for.

    success

  3. Choose a "Backup set type” (i.e., Full or Incremental).

    success

    • Full - – A full backup captures all the data that you want to protect. When you run a backup job for the first time, AhsayOBM will run a full backup regardless of the in-file delta setting.

    • Incremental - An incremental backup captures only the changes made as compared with the last uploaded full or delta file (i.e. changes since the last incremental backup).

    You can also modify the "Destinations" and "Migrate Data" options.

    The “Migrate Data” option will only be displayed if Deduplication is enabled for the backup set. When the Migrate Data option is enabled, the existing data will be migrated to the latest version during a backup job. Backup job(s) for backup sets with Migrate Data enabled may take longer to finish. For more information about this feature, refer to AhsayCBS v9 New Features Datasheet.

  4. Once done with the settings, click the Backup button to start the backup job. The following screen will be displayed to indicate that the backup job is successfully completed. You may click the "search" button beside the progress bar to check the backup log.

    success
