Hello, Teams,I am looking for someone who can share the offline documentation file for the 2022E (11.28) version. Since this version has reached end-of-life / support termination, it is currently difficult to access or review the related documentation. Additionally, all existing links for 2022E (11.28) are currently being redirected to version 11.46, making it hard to find the older references. If anyone happens to possess this legacy offlinedocs file and is willing to share it, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance! 

We will eventually upgrade everything to 11.36.114 but what needs this update in order to resolve these vulnerabilities?Is it just the CommServe/WebServer?The Resolution does not state what needs to be updated.“ResolutionSoftware customers upgrade to resolved maintenance release.”https://documentation.commvault.com/upcoming-security-advisories/?id=CV_2026_07_5 https://documentation.commvault.com/upcoming-security-advisories/?id=CV_2026_07_8 https://documentation.commvault.com/upcoming-security-advisories/?id=CV_2026_07_9  Thanks

Where can I start downloading the Security Advisories CV_2026_07_5, CV_2026_07_8, and CV_2026_07_8? Thank you Arturo. 

Dear Team,I apologize for the inconvenience, but I was wondering if you could assist me with the following question.On August 1, 2026, I completed the Commvault Cloud Professional course to obtain the certification. However, it appears that the certificate has not yet been issued. I noticed that my previous certificates were generated immediately, so I was wondering if this delay is normal.I would appreciate it if you could provide me with more information about the status of my certificate or let me know if any further action is required on my part.Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.Kind regards,

Hi,Can someone clarify the Instant Clone or “Optimize for table level restore” features?I have multiple SQL Servers. DB admins ask me about possibility to restore single tables instead of whole databases (some of them are huge like 10+ TB).So now I’m testing this on my playground but I’m not sure I get how it works.Creating recovery point / instant clone attach new database to selected instance and on low-level this is VSS snapshot mounted directly from my Commvault disk library to the proxy server. So there is no real data on server - it’s just on my commvault library. Is that correct?Proxy server have to be the server when I have target instance.I can’t restore tables directly to the source database. I can only restore tables to some another databases. So what is the point of this feature?I saw that enabling this cause backup by only 1 stream. Is that true?

Hi, I am a Commvault Partner new to the Community. I would also like to take the self paced Engineer (and Expert if available), but all I see that is available is the ILT paid ($3000) for Engineer and for Expert ($5000) ILT also. Am I looking in the wrong place? (I have the exams in progress but failed miserably not having taken any training prior at all)… Thanks, Tom 

Hi all!I would like to discuss following situation. We are unable to override retention under plan. After turning on the option on “Override restrictions” to give permission to “Allow this plan can be overridden” than select changing the value to “Override optional/required and clicking OK we see no real changes performed.Is it possible that this setting is somewhere blocked or overwritten by another settings?

Hi guys,I’m currently evaluating / planning the migration from a Windows CommServe to a Linux CommServe.We are using a Fujitsu ETERNUS CS8000 virtual tape library with VJUK (generic SCSI library) emulation as Tape backend.The Workflow (Prefetch Tapes for Restore) provided by Commvault to prefetch media, that have been migrated from cache, is no longer working on Linux CommServe.The Command ManualPrefetchTapes.exe, that is called by the workflow on Windows, cannot be found in the Linux distribution.Can someone tell me where to get it ?Or is there a newer version of the prefetch workflow available, that does no longer use the external command to initiate the prefetch ?Currently running on V11.40.59BRKlaus

Hi:I would like to to know if the RPO and RTO data shown in the reports (https://cloud.commvault.com/commandcenter/#/softwareStore/10370Command Center) from Command Center are generated based in real data (I mean, based on true recovery times from the customer) or are calculated using AI or other ways.  I will appreciate more details and if someone has experience with this report, and also if the report was useful.Thanks,Paul

I am currently questioning our AuxCopy to tape performance and want to get some input on how to identify the bottleneck.We have multiple plans which all have two copies to tape. One is synchronous and one is selective.Each of the two is consolidated onto another Global Secondary Copy Policy.The storage target are six LTO9 drives with a mixed LTO8 and LTO9 media inventory.The source for the copy is a NetApp StorageGRID S3 backed storage pool with deduplication connected on a 100G fiber network.We have two Media Agents which are both connected to all LTO drives and the NetApp (same VLAN).Looking at the reported speed of the drives in Commvault I get around 130MB/s all of the time.I could confirm this looking at SFP speeds on the FC switch which also stay around this value with rare peaks to around 200MB/s.What I tested already to look for the bottleneck:- only run one AuxCopy Job- run AuxCopy when no other jobs where running- validate drive > 300MB/s throughput with LTO8 media- differ

Hello,I have an HSX storage increased a lot from June to JulyThe storage is a destination for:primary copies secondary copies from another HSX secondary copy for cloud copyWhat is the best way to determine what caused this growth?I tried multiple report but I didn’t find any cause.the capacity license is still the same between June and JulyThanks !

I’m asking because the document in version 11.28 has been deleted. Before upgrading Commvault from version 11.28 to 40, I would like to upgrade the Windows version of the Commserve server to 2022. - After DR backup, format the entire existing Commserve server, then install Windows 2022 - DR recovery after installing version 11.28 of Commserve - Upgrade to 11.40 We plan to proceed with the work in this order.Is it possible to use version 11.28 of Commserve in Windows 2022?

Hello, guys  I want to perform a secondary copy to tape, and be able to write the data to tow tapes at once, Same data must be written to tow different tapes that belong to two different pools (main pool and copy pool). The idea is to be able to have mirroed data on tapes that will be stored on different sites (customer policy). Data must be read once from primary store (source) and write at same time to diferent tapes.Customer has a library with 3 drives. Any idea?Regards.  

I have a interesting issue.  My AUX copy streams are capping out at 180 GB/h despite having multiple 10 GB WAN links.  I see this issue on a Storage Policy that has dedupe and compression disabled.(due to large unique data being backed up).   Does anyone by chance have a storage policy with no dedupe or compression?   I am really curious to know what speeds you are seeing on your AUX copy streams.   I feel like these should be able to go faster, but having a hard time convincing support that there is something in CV that is restricting it.We have set the nNumPipelineBuffers set to 900 already.  Our Dedupe AUX copies run amazing since there are so many streams for it to work with. 

Can someone confirm whether when staging the DB the Command Center isn’t usable by design? The Console works but I can’t seem to get the web UI to load (Please wait while our servers start up. This may take a few minutes.). curl returns the fact it’s running. I replaced the signed certs and all that but it seems it just doesn’t function so I’m wondering if that is expected behavior.thanks

Hi, we have a customer who is looking for the possibility to backup Microsoft Power Automate (Power Platform). Are there plans to implement this feature in the future? Kind RegardsFlorian

Hello,Does anyone know if you can search the chat history on the Arlie website for specific terms?Thanks and regards,Thomas

We currently have a self-hosted Commvault environment running version 11.36.The CommServe and MediaAgent are installed on the same physical Windows server. The same server also hosts the existing MediaAgent components, including the DDB, Index Cache, Disk Libraries, Mount Paths, Data Paths.The customer’s main requirements are:Minimum operational risk Minimum downtime No unnecessary CommServe name or IP updates on the clients The existing physical server must remain in service as the MediaAgent after the separationOur planned approach is to first upgrade the existing combined CommServe/MediaAgent server from 11.36 to the latest approved 11.40 Maintenance Release.The upgrade and the separation will be performed as two separate changes, with a stabilization and validation period between them.Planned Final ArchitectureNew virtual server:CommServe only Receives the original CommServe hostname Receives the original CommServe IP addressExisting physical server:Remains as the MediaAgent Receiv

Hi together,In Veeam, there is a feature called "Secure Backup" which is a service for DRP audits (backups recoverability is tested). Does anyone know this feature and can tell me if there is a similar function in CommVault?I have not found one yet (Version 11.24.94).thanks in advance for your answers and best regards Pascal

Hey everyone,I have a question to the community regarding some automation for commvault client.We have a process that builds a cloudformation stack, then we used Chef to deploy pertinent applications ( like the commvault client).  Before the stack can be deployed, it runs through a mock build using kitchen-test.  This works great with one exception.  It creates a client in the CommCell from the kitchen-test. Does any know of a command or script I can run against the CommCell that will remove the client that was created during the kitchen-test? Preferably in the chef recipe vs having to run it on the server. 

I am looking for stencils that can be imported into draw.io to build backup diagrams and environments for documentation purpose.Is this something Commvault has available to customer? If so, can you send a link for download please?Thank you

Just wanted to validate this...I’ve been chatting with Arlie and trying to get a proper “list of steps” to add a new mount point (in an existing library) to media agent “A” and then to share that with Media agent “B”. All Media Agents are Windows. It seems the steps (not all from Arlie) are:Media Agent A: Add storage and mount drive (say L:\). Format Disk as GPT, and 64KB allocation. Media Agent A: “Share” L:\… using a service account as “browse/read/write”. The share is now like “\\A\sharename” Media agent B: Map that Share as UNC (“\\A\sharename”) as drive L:\, using the same service account. I presume also set it to “auto connect at sign-in” so the mount point does not go away on reboot. In Java console, choose storage library → Add Mount Path. Choose media agent A and drive L:\, Pick mount path and choose “Share” with Media Agent B and make it read/write. Looks like I need to input the service account/credentials here too. Additionally, I may need to select “Transport type: Regular
