   Upon upgrade to AhsayCBS v9 from AhsayOBS v6, when attempting to run a transaction log backup for backup sets created on v6 for the FIRST TIME, a full backup will be performed instead. As the disk space required for running a full backup set may significantly be larger than running a transaction log backup, make sure the backup destination has enough quota to accommodate the full backup.

   The Migrate Data option will only be displayed if Deduplication is enabled for the backup set. When the Migrate Data option is enabled, the existing data will be migrated to the latest version during a backup job. Backup job(s) for backup sets with Migrate Data enabled may take longer to finish. For more information about this feature, refer to AhsayCBS v9 New Features Datasheet.

5. Click Backup to start the backup job. Once finished, "Backup Completed Succesfully" will be displayed.

   

   To check the log of your backup, click the magnify icon. It will show you the log of your backup with corresponding date and time.
