Restore Anywhere

There may be times when you wish to restore your backed up data but have no access to the computer with the Client Backup Agent (AhsayOBM/AhsayACB) installed. AhsayOBR is exactly designed to cater to your needs under such circumstances. You can now download and launch the AhsayOBR anytime and anywhere you like, as long as you have a computer with a web browser installed and Internet connection.

Fast Download and Launch

Unlike a Client Backup Agent (AhsayOBM/AhsayACB), which is significantly larger in file size and takes longer time to install on your computer, AhsayOBR is a compact solution that can be downloaded and launched in a short period of time in just a few clicks.

Furthermore, AhsayOBR is designed as a one-time restorer that will be completely removed from your computer after it is closed. All the restore log files or settings will also be removed from the computer, so you would not need to spend time to uninstall the software once you have finished the restore process.

Leave No Footprint

When you are trying to restore your backed up data remotely, the computer you use for restoring may not have the same level of security settings as the one you normally use for backup and restore onsite. Therefore, it may not be completely secure to install a Client Backup Agent (AhsayOBM/AhsayACB) to restore data because the backup agent will store information such as the backup user’s personal info, backup set settings, backup/restore logs, etc. Using a Client Backup Agent for restore under such circumstances may pose potential threat to your personal and confidential information.

That is why the AhsayOBR is designed as a single-purpose restorer with high level of security protection and supporting Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). The restorer takes you directly to the restore start point after login, where you can begin the restore process immediately. It will also be completely removed after the restore is done, so you do not have to worry about leaving important information behind in the restore logs which could be viewed by a third party.

Reasons for using AhsayOBR

While you can still download a Client Backup Agent (AhsayOBM/AhsayACB) to restore data, AhsayOBR provides a quick, direct and secure solution specially designed for data restoration. Below is a breakdown of the advantages in using AhsayOBR:

Installation

  • No Installation Required
  • Faster to Launch

OpenDirect Restore

OpenDirect restore allows you to view and download individual files from a compressed or image file, without having to restore compressed file or image file first. OpenDirect restore gives you the flexibility to restore selective file(s) quickly, so it saves you time and effort to achieve your restore goal.

To ensure optimal restore performance, the backup of files in an OpenDirect file backup set will NOT be encrypted and compressed, therefore, you may have to take these factors in consideration when selecting this restore option.

Granular Restore

In some cases, you may only need to restore a few individual file(s) from the guest VM, therefore, granular restore gives you a fast, convenient, and flexible tool to restore selected file(s) from a guest VM quickly.

To ensure optimal restore performance, the backup of the guest VM will NOT be encrypted and compressed, therefore, you may have to take this factor in consideration when using this restore method.
