Do Oracle DB restores supports multiple streams?

Hi, I see that the stream count is defaulted to 2. But I also read the all restores are single streamed except for a few iDAs. And oracle iDA is not one of them. Regards,Pedro

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

Change Exchange Online with On-Prem AD to Exchange Online with Azure AD

Hello, When we deployed Exchange Online backup couple of years back, we still used On-Prem AD. Now AD Team is migrating more and more to Azure AD, including shared mailbox delegation groups.We used these groups to provide Commvault the list of users that should have access to the archives of shared mailboxes. Given that the delegation groups now only exist in Azure AD, would there be a way to eitherconvert Exchange Online with On-Prem AD to Exchange Online with Azure AD or work with the new Azure AD objects to delegate shared mailboxes in Commvault?Our current setup is:Exchange Online with On-Prem AD End User authentication using SAML (Azure AD) as primary means of authentication. We still keep the On-Prem AD Domain Identity Server, SAML is Associated with the AD Domain. Thank you,Zoltan

VMware - VMDK file - Thick vs Thin Provisioning - Size/Compressed

Good morning,I’m trying to wrap my head around the following case:Let’s say there are two virtual machines, each with one 100 GB VMDK file (let’s ignore other files such as swap, etc. for the sake of this example). Each OS consumes 30 GB in total (Windows + Data).VM A - VMDK 100 GB, filled with 30 GB of data, thin provisioningVM B - VMDK 100 GB, filled with 30 GB of data, thick provisioningThe question is: will the full backup for VM A and VM B be of the same size (more or less) regardless the provisioning configured for each disk?The idea behind this question is to know whether thin provisioning speeds up the backup process and consumes less storage at the end of the day (especially considering that we’re running out of backup storage).Regards,

Sharepoint (v2) backup seemingly running fine, but all azure apps give permission errors.

The jobs are seemingly still running fine without any failed items.I restarted the services on the access node, also tried verifying in another browser. Maybe it could be a problem with browser cache, but no.Discovery and index timestamps are up to date.Running 11.32.23Any comments on this? What should be done? Can I trust the backup?

Stubbing no longer works

Since a few months we have the problem that the archiving function does not work anymore. Files that were previously stubbed without any problems are suddenly no longer stubbed. Also files that had a recall are not stubbed again. In the logs it says "Reason: [Skipping as file has recall on data access or open attribute ON]". Files are for example jpg and bak. We are already in contact with the support but they don't get any further.

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, 🙂.

HyperScale 1.5 - HBA - VSA SAN backup

Hi All. I have a HyperScale 1.5 setup, with HBA cards installed on the nodes to be able to do VSA SAN backups.I have configured the multipath.conf to use round-robin, so the HBA card will utilize both ports on the card I have noticed that even though round-robin have been configured, it seems that only on port is utilized and that the port being used is then being maxed out.Do I miss somewhere in the HyperScale configuration where I can set the multipath setting or does anyone have any suggestions on how to utilize both ports on the HBA in a HyperScale setup? Regards-Anders

Commvault licensing and SKU Questions

Hi all,I’m about to renew my license and intend to increase it for the first time.I’d be happy if anyone can help with questions or direct me to a thread where it was already answered. Have VM Socket licensing that I understand is deprecated and at some point will be turned to 10 VM pack license although it’s perpetual license. Is that true? when will existing license will be turned to VM packs? I heard around 2025 If socket license turns to VM packs, what is the ratio I should expect will remain? for example, one perpetual socket license turns to X VM packs? if so, how many? I have 2 SKU almost the same. can someone explain the difference?Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery for Endpoints, Per User    CV-BR-EPCommvault Complete Backup & Recovery - Per Front-End TB    CV-BR-FT and:Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery for Endpoints, Per User    CV-BKRC-EP-11Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery - Per Front-End TB    CV-BKRC-FT-11  thank you all in advance!

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

2FA on Commvault

I am planning on implementing 2FA (probably with Microsoft Authenticator) on my Commserve (not Metallic).  Has anyone done this and are there any “gotcha’s” I need to be aware of.  I would only want 2FA for domain users not my local commvault admin account. Thanks
