1 System Requirements

1.1 Supported Platforms

Refer to the following KB article for the list of supported operating systems:

FAQ: Ahsay Software Compatibility List (SCL) for version 8.1 or above

http://wiki.ahsay.com/doku.php?id=public:8001

1.2 Packages

The following packages have to be present in the FreeBSD machine to enable installation and

normal operations of AhsayOBM version 8.

 curl https://www.freshports.org/ftp/curl/

The ‘curl’ command is used by the AhsayOBM sh script installer to download components

from AhsayCBS server during the installation process.

 tar https://www.gnu.org/software/tar

The ‘tar’ command is used by the AhsayOBM gz installer to uncompress and extract

installation files or components downloaded from the AhayCBS backup server onto the

FreeBSD machine.

 psmisc http://psmisc.sourceforge.net/

The ‘psmisc’ package which contains the ‘fuser’ components must be installed for

AhsayOBM on FreeBSD, for the auto update agent (AUA) process to work properly.

 Openjdk8 https://www.freebsd.org/java/

The ‘openjdk8’ package must be installed for AhsayOBM on FreeBSD since this is the

reference implementation of Java SE.

 GNU LIBC 2.14 https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/

The installed ‘GNU LIBC’ version must at least be 2.14 for OpenJDK 8 to work.

3 Download and Install AhsayOBM

There are two installation modes of AhsayOBM, online installation and offline installation.

Below is the table of comparison between online installation and offline installation.

Online Installation

Offline Installation

Installation

Time

 Takes more time as it needs to

download the binary and

component files (80MB to

132MB depending on

operating system) each time

the installation is run.

 Online installer size is 6KB to

3.5MB depending on operating

system as it contains only the

initial installation package files.

 Takes less time as all the

necessary binary and component

files are already available in the

offline installer and offline installer

can be downloaded once but

reused many times.

 Offline installer size is 80MB to

132MB depending on operating

system as it contains all the

necessary binary and component

files.

Deployments

 Suitable for single or small

amount of device installations.

 Suitable for sites with fast and

stable internet connection as

internet connection is needed

each time when an installation

is run.

 A slow internet connection will

result in longer installation time

and interrupted or unstable

internet connection may lead

to unsuccessful installation.

 Ensures the latest version of

the product is installed.

 Suitable for multiple or mass

device installations.

 Suitable for client sites with

metered internet connections as

once the offline installer is

downloaded, internet connection is

not needed each time when an

installation is run.

 May need to update the product

version after installation if an older

offline installer is used.

3.1 Online Installation

1. Login to the FreeBSD machine via a ssh client using the root account.

2. Create a new directory to install AhsayOBM.

# mkdir -p /usr/local/obm

# cd /usr/local/obm

3. Download the AhsayOBM sh installation script file from your backup service provider’s

website:

4. Go to the download page and right click on Download (Online) button, then Copy Link

Address to copy the URL of the AhsayOBM installer.

5. Execute the curl command with the copied URL to download the AhsayOBM installer to

the FreeBSD machine.

Note: After pasting the URL, delete ?dlName=obm-freebsd-443-10.90.10.84-https-

0O.sh

6. Execute the AhsayOBM install script by using the sh command.

Note: The .sh script file should be placed under the directory path where you want to

install the AhsayOBM application.

Workaround: If the script does not run, add executable permissions first to the

AhsayOBM install script by running the chmod 755 script then install it by executing it

# chmod 755 obm-nix-443-10.90.10.84-https-0O.sh

# ./ obm-nix-443-10.90.10.84-https-0O.sh

# sh obm-nix-443-10.90.10.84-https-0O.sh

1. To manually start the scheduler service use the /usr/local/obm/bin/Scheduler.sh script.

2. To manually stop the scheduler service use the /usr/local/obm/bin/StopScheduler.sh

script.

3.4 AhsayOBM check rc.conf file

To check if the obmscheduler is enabled use the cat command. If you do not see

‘obmschedule_enable=”YES”’, add the entry in the rc.conf file by using a text editor like vi.

This is to ensure that the AhsayOBM scheduler service will startup automatically when the

FreeBSD machine powers on or when it is rebooted.

# cat /etc/rc.conf

hostname="FreeBSD103"

ifconfig_vmx0="inet 10.16.30.22 netmask 255.252.0.0"

In order to run scheduled backups a backup set must be created. There are two ways to create

a File Backup Set. One is to create it using AhsayCBS while another way is editing the XML

file using ssh.

Using AhsayCBS

Create a backup set

Login to AhsayCBS and create a backup set

Login to AhsayOBM

Login to AhsayOBM using ssh to set

encryption setting

www.bobcloud.net 15

Using ssh

Edit backup set in ssh

Use ssh to edit the XML file

Create a backup set

Login in to AhsayOBM using ssh to

create a backup set

Generate backup set to XML

Backup set must be generated to XML

Import backup set to XML

Backup set must be imported from XML

www.bobcloud.net 16

5.1 Using AhsayCBS

Initial backup set preferences may be configured using AhsayCBS then the Encryption settings

will be added once you log in AhsayOBM using ssh.

1. Log in to AhsayCBS and go to User.

www.bobcloud.net 17

2. Go to Backup Set then click the create button to create a backup set.

3. Input the name and select the Type. Click Next.

www.bobcloud.net 18

4. For FreeBSD, the folders under Select the items and folders that you want to backup

are not applicable so you can specify the backup source in the Other Selected Source

part. You can also choose if filters will be applied to the backup source. By default it is

turned off.

You can choose to apply filters by sliding the lever to the right. Then click the Create

button to set your filter preferences. For further information on filters please refer to the

AhsayOBM Backup Source Filter Guide.

Add Other Selected Source by clicking the Create button.

Input the path of the source to be backed up. Click Add button to add the source. Keep

doing this until all backup source are added.

www.bobcloud.net 19

To exclude a source you can add it under Deselected Source by clicking the Create

button.

Note: Some folders are automatically not included for backup. Please refer to Appendix

E for more information on these ignored folders.

Input the path of the source to be excluded in the backup. Click Add button to add the

deselected source. Keep doing this until all source to be excluded are added. Click

Next.

www.bobcloud.net 20

5. The Run scheduled backup for this backup set is on by default. If you do not want to

create a backup schedule you can turn it off by sliding the lever to the left. By default

there is already a daily backup schedule created that is scheduled to run daily at 8pm

until full backup is completed. This schedule may either be edited or deleted if you want

to create your own backup schedule.

Note: It is optional to input the computer name in the Run scheduled backup on

computers named field since it will be updated once backup set creation is completed

in AhsayOBM client. In Step 17, the computer name can be checked there as the Owner.

6. Input the Name for the backup schedule. Select the type whether Daily, Weekly,

Monthly or Custom. For the Daily, select the time back up will start.

www.bobcloud.net 21

For the Weekly, select the day of the week and time the backup will start.

For the Monthly, select the day of the month and time backup will start. You can also

create a schedule where you will choose the week and day of the week the backup will

start e.g. every First Sunday of every month

For Custom, you can specify the exact date and time the backup will start.

www.bobcloud.net 22

Also select when backup will stop. If until full backup completed is chosen, the

backup will run until all the files and folder in the selected source is backed up.

If after is chosen, you need to specify the number of hours the backup will run. Note that

even if the backup is not yet finished it will stop on the specified hour. Check the box if

you opt to Run Retention Policy after backup. Click the Add button to create the

backup schedule. Then click Next.

7. Select the Backup Mode if Concurrent or Sequential. By default Sequential is selected

since only one backup set is being created. In Sequential backup mode, if there are

multiple destinations configured in the backup set, AhsayOBM will backup to one

destination at a time. In Concurrent backup mode, if there are multiple destinations

configured in the backup set, AhsayOBM will backup to all destinations at the same time

or concurrently.

Note: For backup sets with multiple destinations, sequential backup mode will take

longer compared with concurrent backup mode.

If Concurrent is selected, specify the maximum number of backup destinations.

www.bobcloud.net 23

Add a destination by clicking the Create button. Select the destination that you want to

add then click the Add button.

Standard and Predefined Destination may be added here. Note that a Predefined

Destination must be set first before you can add it here. This can only be set by your

backup service provider. Then click Next.

www.bobcloud.net 24

8. OpenDirect is not supported in FreeBSD so leave the box unchecked. Then click Next.

9. Leave the Domain Name / Host Name and User name fields blank since Windows User

Authentication is not supported in FreeBSD. Click Save to create the Backup Set.

www.bobcloud.net 25

10. Click on the backup set you just created.

Go to Others and input the path of your temporary directory. Check the box beside

Remove temporary files after backup if you want it removed. You can also change

the settings for Follow Link, Volume Shadow Copy and Compressions. Click the

Save button.

.

www.bobcloud.net 26

11. Open ssh session in the FreeBSD machine and execute the RunConfigurator.sh script.

The Login Menu will be displayed. Select (1). Login then press Enter to login. Input your

Login Name and Password. Set the encryption setting for the backup set.

3. Configuring Backup Set Settings.

To configure the backup set setting you need to edit the

/root/.obm/config/backupSet.xml file using a text editor, for example vi

You can either quit the RunConfigurator.sh script or open a new ssh session to edit the

backupSet.xml file.

Please refer to Appendix A, B, and C for details and examples on how to create backup

sets using the backupSet.xml file.

Notes:

i. Before importing the backupSet.xml file please remove any unused destinations and

backup schedule settings. Otherwise the following error will be displayed "Failed to

import XML file (Reason: Value of Name is empty!)" when trying to import the

backupSet.xml file.

ii. Setup of the following cloud storage destinations; OneDrive, OneDrive For Business,

DropBox, and Google Drive are not supported in FreeBSD environment, as these

cloud storage destinations require authentication using a web browser.

4. Importing the updated backupSet.xml file to AhsayOBM

After you have edited the backupSet.xml file with your chosen backup settings you need

to import the settings back to AhsayOBM so they can be uploaded to AhsayCBS backup

server in order to create the backup set.

For example: to create a new file backup set called “bsdguide” with encryption enabled

and user password encryption settings.

Congratulations! The backup set configuration is now complete!

Notes:

i. We would like to stress that it is very important to keep a separate record of your

encryption key in a safe place, as you will not be able to restore your data without the

correct encryption key.

ii. If you re-install AhsayOBM or install AhsayOBM on another machine the encryption

key will be required for restoring data from the backup set.

www.bobcloud.net 31

6. Verify the Backup Schedule

To verify if the scheduled backup settings are correct, check the AhsayOBM scheduler

log (debug.log) located in /root/.obm/log/Scheduler folder.

8 Restoring Data

1. To restore files that have been backed up from your backup destination, you need to use

the Restore.sh script by using a text editor like vi to configure the restore settings like :

Backup Set Name -> BACKUP_SET=""

Backup Destination -> DESTINATION=""

Location of Restored Files -> RESTORE_TO=""

Files/Folders to be Restored -> RESTORE_FROM=""

Snapshot to be restored ->POINT_IN_TIME=""

Applying the original permission to the restore files ->RESTORE_PERMISSION=""

Verifying in-file delta file checksum during restore ->VERIFY_CHKSUM=””

# cd /usr/local/obm/bin

# vi Restore.sh

#!/bin/sh

This appendix explains all configurable items with their available options, highlighted in red, in this file

backup set XML scripts.

Backup Set Setting

The following items define the basic configurations of the file backup set.

Backup set type – enter the backup set type, for instance, File, MySQL etc.

Backup set name – name your backup set.

Temporary directory for storing backup files – Enter the directory path where you would

like to have the backup files stored temporarily. The temporary directory is used for various

purposes, such as storage of temporary spooled file (for database specific backup type in

AhsayOBM), remote file list, local file list, temporary delta file and other files of temporary

nature.

you finish backup.

Select compression type – choose the backup compression mode among Normal, Fast or

No compression.

Backup files’ permissions – choose whether to backup operating system file permission of

the data selected as backup source.

Follow link of the backup files – choose whether to follow an NTFS junction point or

NTFS symbolic link during backup. When the follow link option is enabled, not only is the

symbolic link or junction point backed up, but directories and files that the junction point links

to will also be backed up.

perform. Set to 0 if you would like the backup performed in a specified occurrence + criteria

format, e.g. every third Wednesday of the month.

Backup [Occurrence + Criteria] format

You can set the backup to perform on a specified week (Occurrence, First / Second /

Third / Last) and on a specified day of the week (Criteria, Sun thru Sat), for instance, the

third Wednesday of the month.

Backup occurrence – set the week, i.e., First / Second / Third / Last. If you have set

an exact date in the previous “Schedule date of month” configuration, this setting will

be ignored.

Custom Schedule Settings

Set backup jobs to run at the date and time you specified.

Start hour – the starting hour of the backup, from 0-23.

Start minute – the starting minute of the backup, from 0-59.

Duration of this backup in hours – the duration you would like this backup to perform, in

hours. Set to -1 if you would like the backup job to run until it finishes.

Date for performing custom schedule backup - enter a specific date when you would like

the backup to perform. The date format should be in YYYY-MM-DD.

<!-- Copy and paste the whole <Key> to add more custom

schedules -->

<Value data="2018-7-6" name="Schedule Date"

type="string" />

</Key>

Destination Settings

Concurrency level – set the number of destinations to run backup job concurrently

AhsayCBS Destination Settings – this option allows backup files to be stored on the

server

Local Destination Settings – this option allows backup files to be stored in your local

computer. Enter the directory path where you would like the backup files to be stored.

<!-- Concurrency level is the number of destinations to run

backup concurrently -->

<!-- AhsayCBS destination is where the files are backup to

server -->

</Key>

In-file delta setting

In-File delta technology is an advanced data block matching algorithm with the intelligence to pick up

changes (delta) in file content between two files. You can choose between Differential and

Incremental in this setting.

Differential - The delta is generated by comparing with the last uploaded full file only. Delta

generated with this method will grow daily and uses more bandwidth. However, for

restoration, the full file and a single delta is required to be restored and merged.

Incremental - The delta is generated by comparing with the last uploaded full or delta file.

Delta generated with this method is smaller and uses the least bandwidth. However, for

restoration, the full file and all deltas chain up to the required point-in-time are required to be

restored and merged. This is prone to data lost (e.g. broken delta chain).

Appendix E Handling of Non-regular Files

The following non-regular files/folders such as device files, block files, virtual files systems, pseudo file

systems etc will be automatically ignored if selected for backup. Backup log entries of these

files/folders will not appear in the backup logs.

Example:

/proc

/dev

/sys

/run

For AhsayOBM installations on FreeBSD, these devices will not be shown on the backup source

screen.
