Location of the logs for the Ahsay backup software
All config files are stored locally on each device that runs a backup.
The config folder contains the backup and restore logs, configs, and other ancillary files.
Please zip and send us the entire folder, not just the log folder.
How to send us the logs
If the folder is larger than 10MB, share the folder with Dropbox, OneDrive or a similar service to support@bobcloud.net
https://wetransfer.com/ is a free service allowing you to send files up to 2GB.
Tell us you have shared the files so we can assign them to your open ticket.
