AhsayCBS

Use a Zata bucket as a predefined destination in Ahsay Cloud Backup Suite.

AhsayCBS (Ahsay Cloud Backup Suite) is backup server software for service providers and IT teams. It can store backups in a Zata bucket that you add as a Predefined Destination.

Before you start

• A bucket for the backups. AhsayCBS does not create it, so create it first. See Create a bucket.
• An access key from the same region as the bucket. See Access keys.
• AhsayCBS installed. Download AhsayCBS.

Installation notes

• The installer asks for the ports AhsayCBS uses. The defaults are 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). If another program such as IIS or Apache already uses them, choose others, for example 8080 and 8443.
• After Finish, the console opens in your browser. Log in with the default user system and password system, then set a new password.

Set up AhsayCBS

Open the basic system settings

On the AhsayCBS dashboard, under System Settings, click Basic.

Add a predefined destination

Open the Predefined Destinations tab and click +.

Enter the Zata details

Enter a Name, for example Zata, and fill in the other fields from the table above. Click Test. A message that says OK means AhsayCBS can reach the bucket.

Save the destination

Click the green + button at the bottom right to save. The destination now appears in the Predefined Destinations list.

Test it

Back up a small file to this destination and check that backup data appears in your bucket in the Zata console. Then restore the file to confirm it can be recovered.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Test fails with a bucket error	Create the bucket in the Zata console first and check that the name is exact.
Access denied or invalid credentials	Copy the keys again from Access Keys, without extra spaces. The key must be from the same region as the Host.
Cannot connect	Use the host name without https://, port 443, and tick Connect with SSL. Allow outbound port 443.
AhsayCBS does not start after installation	Ports 80 or 443 are used by another program. Reinstall with other ports, for example 8080 and 8443.
