Ahsay Backup Restore

Fastest Restore for Large Backups

For any large restore, go to the datacenter and copy the files to the portable hard drive while directly connected to the OBS backup server!

Connect a large and fast portable hard drive. USB3 or eSATA is preferable.

Use rsync to copy the Ahsay backup user's home directory to the portable drive.

Format and prepare the hard drive as EXT3.

This example command shows usage on a remote (from OBS) workstation PC with a non-standard SSH port and compression to improve speed over a WAN link:

rsync -avrz -e 'ssh -p 2222' --progress root@obs.domain.tld:/opt/obs/user/<name> /media/myusername/250GB-USB/

rsync -avr --progress /opt/obs/user/<name> /mnt/250GB-USB/

Use the Decrypt Files Wizard from the OBM\ACB program.

Locate the path to the files, select the $BACKUPUSERNAME\files folder and you should be able to restore from there.
