Run on Server Backup and Restore

July 21, 2025

Ahsay Cloud Backup Suite v10 allows you to back up your Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data / data stored on a cloud storage to either the AhsayCBS backup server or another cloud storage without the need to deploy a backup agent. You can access the AhsayCBS server environment easily on a web-based management console. This is a user interface that allows you to login remotely to a backup server to manage and monitor your backups.

For Run on Server (Agentless) backup and restore, the AhsayCBS backup server connects to Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / cloud storage directly through the Internet without the need to deploy additional backup agents on the customer site.

Below is the system architecture diagram illustrating the major elements involved in the backup and restore process using Ahsay Run on Server (Agentless) backup configuration.

Run on Server

A Run on Server backup set provides you with an agentless backup solution. Manual or scheduled backup job is performed directly on the AhsayCBS backup server. You do not need to install a backup agent on your personal computer in order to back up your data on Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / cloud storage(s).

Run on Server (Agentless) backup and restore can be managed on a computer or device running on Windows/macOS/Linux/iOS/Android as long as the device is able to support a web browser and has an internet connection.
