How to start a backup job on your AhsayOBM or AhsayACB clients directly from your AhsayCBS?

This video contains information on how to initiate a backup job on a AhsayOBM/AhsayACB client directly from the AhsayCBS Server.

AhsayCBS system administrators can initiate a remote backup job on an AhsayOBM/AhsayACB client machine through the AhsayCBS web management console.

When a backup job is initiated from the AhsayCBS web management console, it will take around 10 minutes for the AhsayOBM/AhsayACB client to receive the remote command and start the backup job. The progress and status of the backup job can be monitored under [Monitoring] > [Live Activities] > [Backup Status].

Assumptions:

• 1. The machine installed with AhsayOBM / AhsayACB is powered on and is connected to the internet.
  2. The AhsayOBM / AhsayACB scheduler service on the client machine is running and is able to connect to the AhsayCBS server.
  3. The AhsayOBM / AhsayACB client is connecting to the AhsayCBS server using the latest login credentials.

• To start or initiate a backup job on an AhsayOBM / AhsayACB client machine, refer to the following steps:

• 1. Login to the AhsayCBS web console.
  2. Under Backup / Restore, go to Users, Groups & Policies, select the Backup User tab, then select a user.
     • After selecting a user account, click on the Run Backup icon.
  3. Select the backup set(s) you want to initiate the backup for.
     • After selecting the backup sets, click on the Run Backup icon on the bottom-right of the screen.
