====== Backup Administration - Ahsay OBM ======

{{:quick_guide:ahsay_backup_client_obm.png?direct&60 |Ahsay OBM Backup Client Icon}}

The **Ahsay OBM** backup client is Ahsay's **full featured** client with many **advanced features**.

If you need a **simple backup client** for **file backups**, please check out the **Ahsay ACB** backup client.

<note tip>We generally use a **multi-level backup plan**.  We like to have a 'local copy' or ''Level 1'' backup in addition to the online (off-site) backup.  The **L1 backup will be used for much faster restore operations**, in the event of a disaster.</note>

<note tip>The Ahsay OBM backup client software will perform **both** the ''Level 1'' local-copy backup as well as the ''Level 2'' online, off-site backups.  Alternately, you can implement **only L1** or **only L2** or you can create separate backup jobs for each scheduled at different times and backing up different content.</note>

===== Backup =====

Generally, you will at least need to define:

  * Backup job **name**
  * **Source** data to be backed up
  * Backup **schedule** (if recurring)
  * L1, L2 or both **destinations** (local copy, online or both)
  * **Retention** policy (per job, how long to keep deleted files)
