I noticed that the latest price list no longer includes Threat Scan for VMs and Risk Analysis for VMs in the SKU list. This effectively means both services can now only be purchased or consumed based on the amount of processed FET.We recently added Threat Scan to our internal catalogue as part of our upgrade to FR40, and this sudden change is quite disruptive. Unexpected adjustments like this significantly impact MSPs and resellers, making it harder to position these services to customers because the cost becomes highly unpredictable.I’m curious to understand the reasoning behind this change, as in my opinion, it does not seem to support upsell, sales growth, or revenue generation.

Hello everyone,I'm looking to optimize storage for my SQL Server backups in Commvault using Application-Aware mode (VM backup with application consistency, without agent installed on VMs).Context:SQL backups via Application-Aware only (no Commvault agent installed) Need to apply different retention policies to optimize storage: Transaction logs: short retention (e.g., 7 days) Full backups: long retention (e.g., 30 days) Issue: I know this granularity is available with the Commvault SQL agent installed (via separate subclients), but in Application-Aware mode, I cannot find these options. It seems we're limited to a single retention policy for the entire VM.Questions:Is it possible to configure differentiated retention policies in native Application-Aware mode? Is there a solution through the Commvault REST API to manage this programmatically? What would be the best practice to optimize storage in this context without installing an agent?Thanks in advance for your feedback and experienc

Via MS TEAMS >Workflows>Manage I’ve created a workflow called Send Webhook Alerts to a Channel and copied the URL created.

Hello Fello Commvaulters I hav the task of moving our current Index Cache and DDB database dat from their current drives I & D respectively to two new drives on the SAME media agent?  I can see a workflow which Ive used many times to move the data between the old media agent and the new one.  This is movement from within the same box. I dont see a WF in how to do this.  Anyone any ideas?  Also worth pointing out the “Index Server” tab on my media agent is greyed out.

Hello,can I use HyperScale X nodes for configuring and running ThreatScan feature?Thanks.Jan

  Dears,I am trying to add a standalone Hyper-V host (not joined to a domain) into Commvault, but I am facing issues with the credentials during the hypervisor configuration.The Hyper-V host is not part of the domain, so I entered the hostname, local administrator username, and password.I also added the Hyper-V host and Commvault server entries to the hosts file on all related servers.However, the system fails during the connection and validation process.Below is the exact error message:Failed to connect to virtual machine host [CommvaultSVR.xxxxxxxxxxx.com] as user [.\Administrator] from access node [commvaultsvr]. Please ensure that the access node is able to communicate with the host and that the user account and password are correct.I would appreciate your assistance in identifying why the access node cannot authenticate to the standalone Hyper-V host and how to resolve this credential/communication issue.Thank you.

Hi All, I am having some challenges protecting a multi-instance DB2 configuration. The below error is thrown: Db2 vendor library reported an error:[ ---- error report ---- app. message = backing up the database line = 6198 file = ClDb2AgentLib.cpp SQLCODE = -2079 SQL2079N An error was reported by the shared library "/opt/Commvault/commvault2/Base64/libDb2Sbt.so". Return code: "-1". --- end error report --- ]. [Backup] operation could not be completed.Source: p3hdb_2, Process: ClDb2Agent The backup of the first instance completes successfully. Can a single Commvault instance protect multiple DB2 instances? I ask because how is this achieved if a different user and group own the each DB2 instances? As I understand it the Commvault binaries and log location should also be owned by this same user/group? In light of the above:1. Are multiple Commvault instances required to protect multiple DB2 instances?2. Can different users/groups own the different DB2 instances?3. If so, should the Db2_c

Microsoft Teams Chat Backup Update Microsoft has made changes to how chat backup is billed and managed through the Teams Export API. As part of this update, Microsoft has stopped metering and billing for the Export API, which previously required manual configuration for chat data protection. 🧭 What This Means for Commvault UsersThe former Teams Chat Backup Settings option has been retired. With Microsoft’s change, Commvault now enables the Export API by default, ensuring 1:1 (user) chats are automatically supported in Commvault SaaS without additional setup. Channel chat: Supported through Free Protected APIs User chat: Supported automatically via the Export API Status: Implemented and active by defaultReference of the Settings [Chat backup settings] 💡 Why This MattersThis update simplifies chat protection and ensures seamless integration with Microsoft Teams without added licensing complexity. Commvault continues to align with Microsoft’s evolving API framework to maintain reliabl

We have been experiencing checkpoint backup failures for VMs on Hyper-V Failover cluster. The CSVFS volume is having 30% free space. How much is the free space needed for the VSA backups to complete for Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual machines. In VMware it is recommended to keep 10% free space on the datastore.

Hi all,We encrypted our databases with TDE in a pilot project and figured that Commvault SQL module makes the backup 8 times larger compared database dump on the disk (SQL 2016, compression enabled).What is recommended Commvault configuration so that we retain the size SQL Server can achieve? We moved from filesystem backup to native backup few years ago and currently it looks like we need to move back! Has anyone implemented this with good results, please? Thank you.

I have 2 media agents connected to tape library with 8 drives… and they both host a Plan and I can’t seem to have the aux copies to tape to use more than one drive. Each plan has 30 Streams and the aux copies use the primary copy as the source copyEach also have an aux copy going to the other one (01 to 02 and 02 to 01) . In the media tab, I’ve combined source data streams to 2 and I did not multiplex..Should I use the second copy as the source for the tape copy then?I find this whole part a bit confusingthxG

Dears,,I created a new linux virtual machine and installed the Commvault Virtual Server package on it in order to use it as a VSA Access Node for our vCenter environment. However, the server does not appear as an available Access Node, and I am unable to use it for VMware backups.
