Ahsay Go has several limitations on specific OS environments it operates in. These limitations include, but are not limited to, restrictions on files, features that are unavailable on specific operating systems, as well as case sensitivity in the naming convention of some operating systems amongst others.

Windows Limitations
RDS User Profile Disks
Ahsay Go running on Windows RDS Server with User Profile Disk enabled is not supported. The Windows User Profile will be deleted every time the user logs off the machine. As the Ahsay Go configuration files are saved under the Windows User Profile, this will cause a failed backup.
Enhanced Network Drive Support
- For network drives which have not been already setup or mapped in Windows.
- Temporary folder location is not supported with individual login credentials but can still be setup separately using existing Windows User Authentication login.
- It also does not support Pre-Backup and Post-Backup Commands.
- Not supported on "Restore Raw File" and "Restore to local computer" options.
- Not supported for mobile backup destinations.
macOS Limitations
Resource Fork Files
Resource fork files cannot be restored with Ahsay Go installation on macOS 10.8 above.
Case-Insensitive File System
For volumes with a case-insensitive file system, target file of a symbolic link will be backed up twice (in both upper case and in lower case), hence, doubling the backup quota storage requirement.
Synology and QNAP NAS Limitations
The following features of Ahsay Go are not supported on Synology and QNAP NAS devices:
- Backup of network drives
- OpenDirect
- Restore Filter
