With OBM clients, just use the same Ahsay account credentials on each backup client machine.

Each backup job will specify which machine it is to run on.

Do not use the same domain account (roaming profile) for all backups. We suggest using the domain admin account for the main file server and then use local admin accounts to back up all the other servers.

With ACB clients, you cannot back up multiple machines to the same Ahsay account.

An alternative would be to create multiple Ahsay backup accounts with similar names so that they are listed together in the OBS web interface. Something like:

 company-servername
 company-user1
 company-user2

You can use a single AhsayOBM account for backup of multiple machines. However, while there may be advantages of using a single account for multiple machines, there are also disadvantages of doing so.

1. You require less backup accounts
2. You can use one username and password to configure the backup setting for all Backup Sets

1. You must use different backup sets for different computers
2. Improper configuration could easily cause problems, which are difficult to debug
