Active Directory Backup

Huge Income Opportunities for MSPs

By using Ahsay's Windows System (bare-metal) backup solution as the core for offering managed backup service, you've got huge income opportunities from these areas:


Income from Storage

Many public cloud storage has become very affordable recently, such as Wasabi cloud storage. With the support for these cloud storage as your storage backend, you can now offer compelling managed Windows System (bare-metal) backup service to earn recurring income.


Income from Reselling

If you just want to resell the Windows System (bare-metal) backup software to your customers, with our competitive software pricing, there is a great markup potential to earn handsome reselling profits. You can further increase your income by providing professional value-added services, such as installation, configuration, hardware maintenance services, etc.


Income from Hardware Bundling

Many businesses still need to host their backup data in-house because of speed, compliance, infrastructure, and other reasons. By bundling Ahsay's Windows System backup software with a server hardware, you are able to form a unique backup appliance to cater for their needs. This all-in-one backup appliance allows you to make profits from both software and hardware.


Income from Data Replication

For those customers who have deployed in-house backup appliance, you can also provide replication service to them as an additional offsite data protection for disaster recovery. With the latest Ahsay Backup Software, you can choose to host the replicated data in your own datacentre, or in the supported cloud storage. This replication service will be your extra recurring income stream.

Why Use Ahsay's System State Backup

To avoid system crash, boot up failure, or corrupted Active Directory Service after updates, you can regularly perform Windows System State backup for your Windows AD Server with Ahsay's client backup agent. A System State backup includes at least the following data, plus additional data, depending on the server roles that are installed:

  • Registry
  • COM+ Class Registration database
  • Boot files
  • Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) database
  • Active Directory database (Ntds.dit)
  • SYSVOL directory
  • Cluster service information
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) metadirectory
  • System files that are under Windows Resource Protection

Backup to multi-destinations

The bare metal image can be backed up to multiple local, network share, FTP/SFTP server, and public cloud destinations.

Scheduling

Windws System backup can be scheduled to run anytime or on a recurring basis.

Retention / Versioning

Older versions of Windows System backup can be kept in the backup destinations as long as you want through retention policy settings.

Point-in-time recovery

Office 365 data can be restored from any point in time that backup was made. Multiple versions of an item can be recovered through a single restore operation.

Easy Deployment

Just install AhsayOBM on the Windows machine that you intend to back up. After proper configuration, the entire Windows system will be backed up to the corresponding AhsayCBS backup server according to the defined backup schedule.

Backup Windows Server

AhsayOBM comes with System State backup module that allows system administrator to backup System State data of a Windows Server, including:

  • Boot files (including the system files, and all files protected by Windows File Protection (WFP))

  • Cluster database (on a cluster node only)
