FAQs
1. How much storage size is required to backup my data ?
The built-in advanced deduplication and compression in Ahsay backup agent can save you lots of storage space for backup by default but the typical business practice of keeping all versions of data for 365 days will eat up your storage gradually. As a rule of thumb, simply choose the package above with size equals to the size of your data to backup. It is usually the best fit for most situations.
2. Where do you store my backup data ? Is it safe ?
Backup data in Ahsay Managed Backup-as-a-Service (AMBaaS) are stored in your choice of either a Microsoft Azure storage account or an Amazon S3 storage account. Both Microsoft and Amazon guarantee at least 99.99% availability and usually have a data center node close to you for fast access. Security is also monitored 24x7 to prevent attack from hackers. It requires no I.T. knowledge to setup the best possible backup solution to all business systems to a secure cloud storage easily.
3. Is it possible to perform on-premise backup without saving data to the cloud ?
If you are not allowed to backup your data to cloud for security reasons due to regulations, you can setup a on-premise system similar to Ahsay Managed Backup-as-a-Service (AMBaaS) to fulfil your backup need. With Ahsay Universal Backup System (AhsayUBS), it is possible to install a complete backup system to bare metal computer in less than 15 minutes. You can then backup everything onsite to AhsayUBS and optionally replicate all backup data offsite to another computer also running AhsayUBS in another geographic location. This gives you the complete control of your backup infrastructure with no data in the hands of external parties. The following table lists some of the DELL PowerEdge servers supported by AhsayUBS with their recommended retail prices for your reference.
| No. | Servers | CPU | Memory | HDD | Total Raw Space | ReferenceRef Price |
| 1 | PowerEdge R250 | Xeon E-2314 4C | 8GB | 8 x 8TB | 64TB | $4250 |
| 2 | PowerEdge T150 | Xeon E-2314 4C | 8GB | 4 x 8TB | 32TB | $3500 |
| 3 | PowerEdge T350 | Xeon E-2314 4C | 8GB | 8 x 8TB | 64TB | $5950 |
4. Is it cheaper to backup to local, instead of cloud, drive ?
Cloud storage comes with high level of redundancy and availability by default and therefore usually have a higher price tag. If you don't require offsite protection, using AhsayOBM to backup your data to a local drive is a cheaper alternative. However, it usualy requires an expansion to your local disks to store backup data. The following table shows a list of direct attached storage (DAS) devices, which can be plugged into a PC/server through UBS port to expand its storage immediately, with their recommended retail prices. In most cases, the acquisition cost of buying one DAS device, including all hard disks, would be similar to the subscription fee for cloud storage for one year, without considering the power to keep the DAS device running.
