    Select Server under "Run on".

    Run on Server

    • If you choose to run the backup set on the AhsayCBS server, you won’t be able to back up, restore or manage your backups on the AhsayOBM/AhsayACB client once the backup set is created.
    • This setting CANNOT be altered once the backup set is created. If you wish to change the backup method later, you will have to create a new backup set and start over the configurations again.
    • For backup sets created in Run on Server backup type, the backup destination is restricted to either AhsayCBS or a predefined destination (if setup by your backup service provider). If you wish to back up to other cloud destinations or back up to multiple destinations, the backup set should be created in Run on Client backup type instead.

    Select the cloud storage that contains the data that you want to backup.
