How to run a validation \ data integrity check on Ahsay v9

Description

This article explains how to check data integrity on your backup set index files.
Numerous Ahsay error codes require a data integrity check to be run, and these are shown at the bottom of this page.

You can also run this utility to check that the reported storage size is correct.

Known errors which require an integrity check

View all known errors at the bottom of this tech doc.

Getting started

To perform a data integrity check, log into our backup software on your device where the backup set is running.

  1. Click on the Utilities box.

  1. Select the backup set you want to repair from the dropdown menu and then select the backup destination from the dropdown menu.

  2. Only tick the box Rebuild Index. The other boxes are for services we don’t use on this platform, and ticking these will significantly increase the repair time.

Press Start

Note

A data integrity check cannot be started if the backup job you are trying to repair is running. We recommend temporarily disabling the backup schedule to ensure the backup job doesn't start while the data integrity checks run.

The following message is displayed when the data integrity check has successfully finished.

The time required to complete a data check depends on several factors, such as the number of files/folders in the backup set(s), the hardware specifications of the client computer, such as the disk I/O and CPU performance, and if other resource-intensive jobs are running.

  1. If the problem persists, try the following:
    a. Close the BOBcloud software and stop the program in the system tray (bottom right of the screen).
    b. Delete c:\users\username\temp (this is assuming the default location). The path can be viewed from within the affected backup set \ Show advanced settings \ Others \ Temporary Directory
    c. Try the backup again.

  2. Change the Temporary Directory shown in step 4 \ b above

  3. Send us a screenshot of the results page in step 4 and the logs shown in this tech doc - Location of Ahsay OBM and ACB logs
