macOS Requirements for AhsayACB

Requirements for macOS

Full Disk Access Permission

macOS 10.15 or higher “Full Disk Access” permission needs to be granted in: System Preferences > Security and Privacy >Privacy tab to AhsayACB and java.

Due to an upgrade in security on macOS 10.15 or higher, additional security settings are required to allow applications to access the machine. AhsayACB requires “Full Disk Access” permission to be able to access your files for selection and backup. Also, without “Full Disk Access” permission, the AhsayACB will not be able to restore files to the machine.

If AhsayACB and java does not have “Full Disk Access” permission, upon opening AhsayACB, the following messages will be displayed. The app will not open until “Full Disk Access” permission is granted.

Installation on Root Drive

AhsayACB must be installed on the root drive of a volume (e.g., /Applications/...).

ARM (M1) CPU
