Preparation:
The AhsayOBM / ACB installers have been branded to include:

The AhsayOBM / ACB installer must be renamed according to the backup server settings, where:
For AhsayOBM:
- obm-win-{PORT_NUMBER}-{BACKUP_SERVER_URL}-{PROTOCOL}-{OWNER_ID}O.exe
For AhsayACB:
- acb-win-{PORT_NUMBER}-{BACKUP_SERVER_URL}-{PROTOCOL}-{OWNER_ID}O.exe
For example:
obm-win-443-10.1.0.50-https-0O.exe acb-win-443-10.1.0.50-https-0O.exe
The Backup Server URL, Backup Protocol and Port Number settings, correspond to the settings configured under the AhsayCBS web console.
