Cause

To support backups of volume mount points on Windows file backup sets on AhsayOBM/AhsayACB, if "Volume Shadow Copy" option is enabled , AhsayOBM/AhsayACB will initiate a VSS snapshot of all local drives found on the machine regardless if the drive has been selected in the backup source.

Resolution

  1. Close the AhsayOBM / AhsayACB user interface then stop the AhsayOBM / AhsayACB service.
  2. Browse to the backup client installation folder. (e.g. C:\Program Files\AhsayOBM or C:\Program Files\AhsayACB)
  3. Open the cb.opt file with a text editor.
  4. Edit the line:

    com.ahsay.obx.core.backup.file.ShadowCopy.disableAddAllVolumes=

    Change to:

    com.ahsay.obx.core.backup.file.ShadowCopy.disableAddAllVolumes=true
  5. Save the file.
  6. Restart the AhsayOBM / AhsayACB service.

Once done, perform a manual backup or wait for the next scheduled backup and check if the issue is resolved
