How do I move an AhsayACB / AhsayOBM installation onto another machine?

The following assumptions are made:

• You will migrate your AhsayOBM / AhsayACB installation from Computer A to Computer B.
• You will install the same or a newer version of AhsayOBM / AhsayACB on Computer B.
• Both Computer A and B are on similar operating system platforms (e.g. both on Windows, both on Linux ... etc.). Mixing platforms for Computer A, to Computer B is not supported.

Steps:

1. On the original computer (Computer A), copy the user config files and log files at:

   %UserProfile%\.obm or
   %UserProfile%\.acb

   To the same location on the new computer (Computer B).

   The exact path to the .obm or .acb folder can be found within the home.txt file in the AhsayOBM / AhsayACB installation folder.

   If the .obm or .acb folder is not copied onto the new machine, AhsayOBM / AhsayACB will prompt for the encryption key for each backup set before you can access the backup set.

2. Download, and install the latest version of AhsayOBM / AhsayACB on the new computer.

3. Modify the owner setting of the backup set(s) from the original computer to the new computer:

   For AhsayOBM / AhsayACB installation on operating system platforms with GUI

   1. Login to the AhsayOBM / AhsayACB user interface.

   2. Select Backup Sets, then the corresponding backup set.

      

   3. Under Backup Schedule, enable the Run schedule backup for this backup set setting.

      

   4. Select Yes, when prompted to take ownership of the backup set
