incremental backup schedule supported for snapvault operations ?

We are in process of configuring backup for NDMP volumes that is configured with snapvault.We are planning to configure backup for those volumes as windows CIFS backup.First copy : “primary snap” that will create a snapshot on the source. (Intellisnap enabled)second copy : AUX copy will be triggered that will replicate the snapshots to snapvault targetThird copy : Backup copy to disk library ( source copy : snapshot on the snapvault target)Fourth copy : selective full to tapes  ( source copy : third copy) My query is, since second copy will be vault/replica copy to replicate the snapshots to snapvault target.Do I need to configure Full backup or Incremental is supported ?I tested a backup with daily Incremental schedule and Synth full schedule weekly once. and noticed AUX copy did not ran for that subclient for incremental backups. However, If I trigger a manual full backup , vault/replica copy runs fine.If I try to run AUX copy manually for Incremental backups, it says no new jobs to

Install of Commvault Failover package using Full Media Kit 11.28.32 and a separate Maintenance release 115

I have a Commvault Commserver environment v11.28.115.  When I installed Commvault Commserver it initially had v11.28.32 but then I had to update the Commvault software and deployed Maintenance release 115 on top.   Then I was about to deploy the Commserve failover package using the Media Kit v11.28.32 but then it complained that the existing Commvault software is higher than the kit I was trying to install.How can I integrate the Maintenance release 115 in my installation process such that when I initiate the install of Commvault failover package using the v11.28.32 Media Kit the installation also recognizes the existence  maintenance release 115 from the installation Note the Full Media Kit v11.28.32 and Maintenance release 115 are two separate kit. The latter not the full installer but just updatesAny help is appreciated

User Role and Permission to allow restore from cloud (3rd) copy

Hello Community, I am doing 3rd copy of DB backup to cloud library. I have separate Role for customer users created. Customer role has below permissions associated. When browsing backups from Command center under a specific customer user, I can see backups but I cant choose the backup copy. Below is a difference when I am logged in as customer user when I am logged as admin, I see additional option to choose backup copy: I`ve added browse and download permissions to customer user, but it did not helped. I  also tried to add permissions over Storage policy, same result. Kindly help me identify which permission need to be added into customer specific Role or user.Many thanks

Cannot login to edge monitor

I installed Metallic Edge Monitor from our IT service center. I’m on an ARM2 macbook running 14.4.1 When I start up Edge Monitor, and go to the icon, it briefly, for a fraction of a section flashes a login, only to be replaced by “Activation in Progress” which never seems to change, even after hours!  Does anyone have any explanation for this?  How do you think I can fix this?  I can’t tell you the version of Edge Monitor, because the icon is unresponsive (except for Quit).

Hello Commvault Community,I have an issue with Large VMware Backup with Commvault. VM size is around 1.6 TB, I have also enabled “File system and application consistent” for the VM.The backup has been successful, but at the removing snapshot process VM is stuck/hang and VM will go offline from the networks perspective and be in a snapshot removal state, pretty much unusable. I have to reset the VM manually.Here what we have : VSA : Win2016 11.32.35Transport Type : HotAddMA : RHEL 11.32.35 Please suggest.

Snapshot creation is disabled on [Server name] by []

Hi all. After upgrading to 11.32.13 we are sporadically starting to see the below error when doing Vmware snapshot backup. The backup job fails or completes with errors: “Snapshot creation is disabled on [Server name] by [].”   Snapshot creation is not disabled for the server, and when backup is re-run everything is working. Have anyone else seen this behavior? Regards-Anders

Data aging when backup fails

Just as example with a daily full backup to keep it simple…In case you have a 4 days retention, but the backup keeps failing for a week, will all backup data still be there? Or will it all be expired? Thanks :) Maurice

Can we backup only Azure Stack HCI (Hypervisor) VM - specific files and folder instead of Entire VM?

While attempting to initiate backup procedures, I observed that while I could back up the entire virtual machine (VM), I encountered difficulty in selecting specific files and folders when creating the VM group.In my Azure Stack HCI environment, VMs are deployed, and my objective is to exclusively back up files and folders rather than the entire VM. Please refer to the image below for context.We have followed this document foradding the HCI environment. https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/adding_azure_stack_hci_hypervisor.htmlCould you kindly provide guidance on whether it's possible to back up only files and folders within VMs which are on Azure stack hci ? If so, could you please provide the necessary documentation for configuring this feature?

VM's remain after vCenter deleted

New vCentre added and unfortunately the account used to add into Commvault had visibility and admin rights over the entire inventory and not a specific folder as required. When a “Refresh datacentres, discover VM’s” action was performed every single VM appeared in the VM list. A subsequent modification adjusted the permissions on the account to limit it to the required folders and a repeat of the process did not reduce the VM count.I have now retired and deleted the vCentre object and the VM’s remain :-( Is there a scheduled clean up process to resolve this issue?  There was a single test VM group with a single VM and that was deleted before retiring the vcentre. I was hoping removing the vCentre and re-adding it would resolve the plethora of VM’s we do not want in the inventory.
