Basic encryption

I write backups to an on-prem SAN. I have a small amount of data on one client that needs to be encrypted to meet a data at rest encryption requirment.Is there a way to only encrypt data backed up from a singe directory on a Windows client? Or a single drive on that client?If not, what is the best option for encrypting my data at rest with the least impact on backup times. I do not need to encrypt it in transit, just at rest. Thanks,Larry Upton

AWS-Commvault-Couchbase port requirements.

We are running 11.28.36 in AWS environment. The commserve sits in a Management VPC and Couchbase is running in our Production VPC. In the Production VPC, we have a media server (proxy server) that runs VM and Cassandra backups to a local S3 bucket.I have the URL for the Couchbase API Server and an admin userid/pass.I am looking for what ports are required from the Proxy(Media server) to the Couchbase server(s). We have a tunnel setup so that we can load the Couchbase software on the required servers, ThanksChuck

Are NetApp Tamperprrof Snapshots supported?

Hi guys, one quick question.NetApp offers the feature to lock Snapshots to prevent deletion of it without the need of an SnapLock Aggregate. The feature is called “Tamperprrof Snapshot”.https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/snaplock/snapshot-lock-concept.html?q=TamperproofIs this feature supportet by Commvault?Could Commvault handle/manage the retention/lock of the snapshots on the ONTAP-level?For primay snap and snapvault copies.If not, what would be the best solution to keep the snapshots safe from deletion → SnapLock?

Oracle Table level restore for Multitennant/Container DB's

HiI noticed in the documentation a note about the lack of Commvault support for Table level restores.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/20248_configuring_oracle_subclients_for_table_level_restores.html “If you use Oracle 12c or a more recent version, you can only use this procedure for databases that are not Container Databases (CDB). To restore tables in Container Databases, you must use the RMAN command line.” Are there any plans to support this via the GUI going forwards? Container Databases have been a feature in oracle for over a decade now.

Cannot create snapshot of Azure VM with Premium SSD V2 disks

If I add a “Premium SSD V2” disk to an existing Azure VM (or during creation of a new VM), backup fails with error message “Unable to create a virtual machine snapshot of [CL3]. [One or more errors occured]. Please check the virtual machine snapshot tree”.networkaccessAccessPolicy is “AllowAll”, publickNetworkAccess is “Enabled”. There is no problem with “Premimum SSD” disks.First I’d like to ask, if this type of disk is generally supported by Commvault backup. I can send a full log of the backup job.Commvault V2023E. Thank youJiri.

SLA does not include all VMs

Hi,Our backup is connected to the VmWare VMs that are divided into two clusters:- vcsa-sap.seab.lan , whose VMs are present in the SLA- vcsa.seab.lan, whose VMs are not present in the SLAOn 30 October 2023, the certificate of vcsa.seab.lan was renewed and since then the VMs have disappeared from the Commvault SLA on the Command Centre page. Before the certificate was renewed, there were 90 VMs in both clusters.Now only those of the vcsa-sap.seab.lan cluster are present (43 VMs) but not those of the vcsa.seab.lan cluster. I need instructions on how to proceed in order to add the new certificate in Commvault and restore the correct functioning of the SLAThank youCarmine

Backup in AWS with compliance lock

Hello, does anyone in the community have experience with offside backup to an S3 bucket in AWS?We created a bucket in the AWS with the "Object Lock" option in compliance mode with a retention of one day. We also did the same with a storage policy in Commvault. Also compliance lock and retention 1 day.We then sent a VSA backup to this storage policy and everything worked immediately without any errors. However, after the retention expired, the data in the AWS bucket was not deleted. To find out whether something was stuck here, I manually deleted the data in the storage policy. That was yesterday. Today, the data that Commvault wrote is still available in the AWS bucket. There is no delete marker on it and the bucket has not changed in size from 7.7 GB and the number of files and folders. RegardsThomas

Recover a backup after a Disaster

Hi All,in the infrastructure that I manage, I have a Commserve and a Media Agent on premise (cmvCServe and cmvMA01) and another MA (cmvMA02). Due to cost issues, only the Commserve is directly replicated on a remote infrastructure dedicated to any Disaster Recovery.A second MA (cmvMA02) is active on a DR infrastructure, but not actually used.Both MA are connected to two different S3 libraries in the cloud where the respective DDB is also present.In the event of a disaster, can I recover the backups carried out by the on-prem MA by configuring the share of the library located on the first MA to be reached and used throught the second MA, positioned in the DR environment?Is this a viable configuration?Thanks in advance for your answers!Best Regards

Again - any way to determine what makes a "suspicious file" trigger happen?

In the past few months, “file activity anomaly alerts” have been exploding in my commvault warnings. Consider this thread a continuation of my previous thread here. For instance, we have Microsoft Configuration Manager use its built-in backup function to back its files/databases up twice a week to a location on our file server, and then later Commvault backs up the whole file server.Here’s a few of the files which it always sticks on, some related to Config Manager, some random other onesDescription: A suspicious file [P:\Project\Staff\DISASTER\SCCM\SSCBackup\CD.Latest\SMSSETUP\AI\LUTables.enc] is detected on the machineDescription: A suspicious file [P:\Project\Staff\DISASTER\SCCM\SSCBackup\CD.Latest\splash.hta] is detected on the machine Description: A suspicious file [K:\Users\Choi2\R\4.2.1\file3ea85e644f6c\spatstat.random\R\spatstat.random] is detected on the machine Description: A suspicious file [M:\TSProfiles\Buetz.v6\.conda\pkgs\tornado-6.2-py39hb82d6ee_0\Lib\site-packages\torn

How to reduce backup time VMs in Google Cloud

Hello everyone, I'm in a situation that's causing me some discomfort. I have 15 VMs located in one region and I need to replicate these VMs to another region, all within the Google Cloud environment.To do this, I'm using 1 MediaAgent to perform the backup and replication operations. However, I'm noticing that it takes a very long time to complete the entire replication process, taking around 15 hours to complete successfully. The first time running the Job, Commvault said that the Application Size was of 7.22TB. And in the last incremental, the Application Size it’s of 112.44GB. Because of this long time, I’d like some tips to help reduce this time, if there’s any documentation that can help. Thanks, 🙂.
