It has various features that make it fast and efficient for online remote backup across the Internet:

Incremental Backup
Differential Backup
In-file delta technology (allowing only the changed blocks within a file to be selected for backup making incremental backup of even large files very quick)
Volume Shadow Copy to allow open files to be backed up under Microsoft Windows.

The Ahsay software suite consists of three major components:

OBS - This is the Offsite Backup Server where all backup data is stored.
OBM - This is the Online Backup Manager that runs on client systems to be backed up.
RPS - This is the replication server that is designed to replicate (in near real time) the contents of an OBS server to another server on a different site.

This software is used by many of the Internet based Remote backup services including some mentioned on the Managed backup providers list. Some examples are Backup to the Web, BackupsAnywhere and Storeitoffsite.
