Import Data from AhsayCBS Replication Sender to Receiver (Linux)

Please refer to the following steps:

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:

     /usr/local/cbs/user/username/1616642176671

     to the removable hard disk.

     Do not perform any backup jobs while the data is being copied to the removable hard disk.

     Administrator can:

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

   • Also, the copy db and pdf folder (e.g. %Home_Directory%\username\db\* and %Home_Directory%\username\pdf\*) onto a removable hard disk. For example, copy:

     /usr/local/cbs/user/username/db
     /usr/local/cbs/user/username/pdf

     to a removable hard disk.

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

2. Next, identify the Replication Home of the corresponding backup user.

   • Login to the AhsayCBS web console (the replication receiver)

   • Locate the Replication Home, under Replication, select Accepting Data, then the corresponding receiver:

     

   • Identify the directory path under Replication Home:

     

     For example:

     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user

   • Temporarily disable the replication on the AhsayCBS replication sender and receiver.

     • On the AhsayCBS replication sender console, under Replication, select Sending Data, disable Replicate backed up data to another server or predefined cloud storage.
     • On the AhsayCBS replication receiver console, under Replication, select Accepting Data, the corresponding receiver, disable Enable Replication.

3. Import the data from the removable hard disk to the AhsayCBS Receiver Home.

   • To import the data to the Receiver Home of the corresponding user, copy the backup data (the entire 'backupset_id' folder) from the removable drive at:

     %Removable_Disk%\username\%backupset_id%\*

     to the Receiver Home of the corresponding backup user at:

     %Receiver_Home%\username\

     For example, copy:

     removeable_drive/username/1616642176671/*
     removeable_drive/username/1616642279252/*
     removeable_drive/username/1616642372391/*
     removeable_drive/username/1616642455799/*
     removeable_drive/username/1616642526613/*

     to

     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/1616642176671/*
     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/1616642279252/*
     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/1616642372391/*
     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/1616642455799/*
     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/1616642526613/*

   • Also, copy the db and pdf folder from the removable drive at:

     %Removable_Disk%\username\db\*
     %Removable_Disk%\username\pdf\*

     to the Receiver Home of the corresponding backup user at:

     %Receiver_Home%\username\db\*
     %Receiver_Home%\username\pdf\*

     For example, copy:

     removeable_drive/username/db/*
     removeable_drive/username/pdf/*

     to

     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/db/*
     /usr/local/cbs/system/rps/rcvshome/128/files/C%3A/Program Files/AhsayCBS/user/username/pdf/*

4. Re-enable the replication on the AhsayCBS replication sender and receiver.

   • On the AhsayCBS replication sender console, under Replication, select Sending Data, enable Replicate backed up data to another server or predefined cloud storage.

   • On the AhsayCBS replication receiver console, under Replication, select Accepting Data, the corresponding receiver, enable Enable Replication.

5. The import procedure is completed.

   • Re-enable the backup user and / or backup schedule(s) afterward.
