OneDrive backup, active vs inactive data.

Hello, Hope someone can help me understand the OneDrive Active vs Inactive data. Not so long ago, we migrated our users over to Microsoft O365, and activated backup of Exchange Online, OneDrive, sharepoint and Teams.  For OneDrive vi had about 23TB of data for about 22.5K users.   And under Protect > Office365 we could see the “Backup Size” and same with a Dashboard element showing top 5 largest servers.   OneDrive was one of our largest servers.   But about two weeks ago the OneDrive storage dropped from almost 24TB and down to 2.52TB. When i go to OneDrive in Commandcenter and look at “Details” under Backup Stats, i can see that Active size is 2.52TB and Innactive is 21.94TB.  From the Microsoft 365 admin console i can see no problems.  So my question is regarding the Active and Inactive data.   Might this be that the 2.52TB is data that has been changed since the last backup, and inactive is old unchanged data?  Or is it that the inactive data is actual data commvault think has b

Extended Retention media

I want to configure extended retention for monthly fulls. I would prefer to have the extended full backups written to separate tapes than the regular tape copies so that a large number of tapes filled with mostly aged data are not being tied up. I know I can accomplish this with second tape copy for just the extended fulls. This method writes the full with extended retention to both tape copies. Is there a way to send the extended retention copies to a different set of tapes using on secondary tape copy and therefore, reduce the total number of tapes and at the same time performing only one copy to tape of the extended full backups?

The VSS files become bloated. Can this come from Commvault?

Hello everyone,a customer contacted us and reported that the VSS files on the domain controller were bloated on C:\System Volume Information. He suspects either Commvault or VMware. I looked at several things but couldn't come to a clear conclusion. Maybe someone here knows this behavior and can give me a tip for the solution if this comes through Commvault. Kind RegardsThomas

Communication error between VSA proxy and media server

HelloMy VSA proxy server has issues communication with the media agent. cvping works, and also test-netconnection. The media agent has 2 NIC, admin and backup. Admin network is not reachable for the VSA proxy. There are 2 DNS records for the media agent.mediaagent.domain.net and mediaagent.backup.domain.netNot sure if it matters but the media agent is registered in the commcell with the admin hostname, mediaagent.domain.net Anyway we have created DIP and backup networks so the VSA proxy actually tries to connect to the correct IP address. But in cvfwd.log I get the following: ######## ######## Switching fd=952 to non-blocking modeConnecting fd=952 to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403Completing connect() for fd=952Successfully connected to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403=> HTTP/1.1 POST xx.xx.xxx.12:8403ERROR: cvfwd_iot_wait(): Socket READ failed.

Cancelling workflow from within process-block

I often have a wizard-block defined with a process-block in order to make my workflows clean.The problem is that the workflow end activity doesn't actually kill the workflow it just exits the process block. Is there a way to kill the entire workflow from within the process-block?

VMWare VMDK files scheduled restore

Hi Community,In addition to the normal CV backup, I have the challenge of backing up the "virtual machine files" (*.vmdk, *.vmx, ...) on a stand-alone NAS, in an independent Commvault format.My idea was to restore existing backups via a dedicated proxy on which the NAS NFS shares are also mounted.Manually, via CommmandCenter, this works fine, but I would like to schedule it periodically with a monthly backup/restore procedure.Do any of you already have experience of how this could work?I would be happy about any answer ….

Command Center Data is "old" vs Commcell Console

Hello, I've noticed that in several situations, when somethings is done through the Commcell console, there is lag until that reflects in the Command Center pane.Why?Is there a way to speed up this and have the information in Command center refreshed?Example: delete a few jobs from SP. Command center disk lib usage does not reflect the change in disk usage. Commcell does. Regards,Pedro

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

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.
