Custom report using SQL archAgingRule VS archAgingRuleExtended

Hi folks,I'm building a custom report using SQL. The final output should look more or less like the “Backup Job Summary” report in Command Center. However, I'm running into issues with the Retention column.I’ve figured out how to pull the standard retention using the following query: SELECT J.jobId, AR.retentionDaysFROM JMJobDataStats JINNER JOIN archGroup AG ON J.archGrpId = AG.idINNER JOIN archAgingRule AR ON J.archGrpCopyId = AR.copyId The problem is that this query doesn’t return jobs that have extended retention. I’m aware of the archAgingRuleExtended table and tried selecting from both tables and then taking the greater value — but this approach doesn’t seem to work.I also tried applying the extended retention only when JMJobDataStats.retentionFlags > 0, but that didn’t help either 🙁I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t figure out what exactly. There must be some indication that a particular job is using extended retention, but I haven’t been able to find

VM RESTORE FROM TAPE.

Hello, I'm trying to perform a restore using a test environment.I'm trying to restore the VM using tapes. The backup server and media agent are not on the same server.When I start the restore process, I can restore the index, view the VMDK files, and start the restore pointing to a VCENTER and the datastore with space.The restore starts and reaches 92% and fails. The error message says that communication with the media agent has been lost.Has anyone experienced this and can help me?

Restoring VMs from Tape / Index

Hello all, We have a typical Hyper-V environment with about 50 VMs. We're performing full backups daily.. For offsite copies, we use a GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) backup setup with a tape library with daily/weekly and monthly/yearly retention policies.Everything runs fine overall—we just need to manually delete daily tapes after a week due to retention issues with big data apps not syncing correctly with the planned retention schedule. This is manageable on our end.The real issue is with restores. We have a backup site that is fully offline and is a clone of the primary site. When we try to restore VMs, most restore fine and grab the index from the daily tape. However, some VMs require indexes from other tapes. To restore all VMs, we often need 2–3 additional tapes from within the 7-day window. In other words, not all indexes are stored on a single tape—this is evident from the index size per tape.It seems the problem is related to the IndexCheckpoint and how the index database is wr

S3 governance mode

HiIs it planned for Commvault to support Governance Mode for S3 buckets?If yes, when can it be expected?If not, why? The Compliance Mode is far too risky and is also not recommended by most engineers.We’re using a Dell ECS on prem and I want to enable WORM but only with Governance Mode. ThanksMichael

check if media agent can rebooted

Hi! Is there a way to check if media agent has on-going activity? Don’t see any API for job controller or media agent call that can be used. I’m struggling with automatic patching for backup infrastructure but want to avoid interfering with client backup jobs or stuck LTO tapes as a result of reboot in the middle of write. So want to check if media agent is in use in a loop and reboot if no job is actually running. Thanks.

File Indexing Stream Limit

We often note that file indexing jobs go to pending state with message:“Set pending cause [All of the backup agents are at the stream limit.]”Other jobs like backups and auxiliary copies are running fine at the same time. I have not found any setting which would change the number of streams used for file indexing.Any hint is highly appreciated.
