AhsayUp Upgrade Service

AhsayCBS v7 has been totally redesigned from the ground up to provide the best cloud backup solution with changes to core functions, such as: file storage system, indexing, backup set features, cloud-file backup, cloud destination, replication, group policy, quota management, Office 365 support, system user, and branding.

As upgrading from AhsayOBS (v5, v6) to AhsayCBS v7 is a major undertaking, this service aims to help our customers and partners upgrade your existing AhsayOBS server to the latest AhsayCBS v7 released version. Leave the technical work to us, so that you can free up your valuable time for business development. As we have been regularly helping hundreds of partners performing version upgrades, our experience can definitely ensure smooth and effortless upgrade to avoid you from running into all sorts of tricky scenarios because of potential problems in your configuration.
