File System sizes checks

Hello all!I am wondering if there is a way to check “storage” on servers, which are a part of backup in Commvault.Reason: In our company - we as a backup team does not have direct access to hosts, and sometimes it took ages to find someone responsible for server to do some checks…Quesion:If there is File System agent installed on server - is there a way to check things like “total size, consumed space, free space”? On both Linux and Windows machines?It would help us a lot, especially while restoring out of place DBs.I am asking because i have found that Oracle agent is doing some checks while preparing restore:I have like thousands of ideas how it could improve our quality of work...Any ideas?Thanks!

Best Practice to backup VMs & File-level for both Windows and Linux

Hello Commvault Community, We are running 11.32.35, right now we have around 70 VMs with Windows and Linux operating systems. We also have a single Media Agent running RHEL.To backup Windows-based VMs, do we need to deploy Windows MA or can we leverage it with existing RHEL MA? Then what about the VSA, is it also has to be windows-based? Please suggest.

Restore-CVVirtualMachine request body syntax

Hello,Does anyone have a working request body for an out of place restore that goes from Vmware to HyperV?All of the example and docs only talk about going from VMware to Vmware and i cant figure out what all i need to make a valid restore.My main issues right now are i cant seem to get it to cluster the vm, add the nic, or put the vmconfig in the correct place.  I can get it to restore the disks to the correct place but the vm config stays in c:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\iDataAgent\JobResults\CV_JobResults\iDataAgent which isnt going to work.  Also, even though it does put the disks in the correct place, it also appears to leave\start with a copy in c:\windows\vmwaredatastorename, which isnt good either when the vm is large.Here is what i have so far, like it said, it does restore kinda, but i would like to not have to to write some sort of post-processor to make it all work.  Doing it manually works great.Here is what i have so far that i have guessed at from the docs.{"de

Network throttleing for DRVM

We are using a 100M line, and we are currently using a single network to an external DR host as well as a backup.Due to network traffic issues, we had to limit the speed of backups.After looking up the TN, we found that Commvault can be set up the same as QoS using the network throttling function.We understand that this feature will be applied on a policy basis, but we are currently unable to find a place to apply this policy to DRVMs.I'll be waiting for any your comments.Regards

Commvault 11.32.47 - File system backup trying to back up "old" folders?

Customer contacted us saying they saw a File system backup job “Completed with errors”.Found in job history details that 5-6 objects failed due to “access is denied”.I mentioned this to the customer, and it appears the failed objects are folders that were deleted 3 days ago.I guess Commvault is running some kind of indexing before a backup job starts(?), but I don’t know why it still “sees” the deleted folders during indexing or backup..?Can I force update the index somehow? Is this even caused by a problem with index?(Since the folders were deleted there has been 2 Completed with errors with reference to the same folders. I suspect the backup today will be the same..)

How to interpret the BackendStorage-QScript/stored procedure or is there a better way to get the used space per client

Hi community,we are migrating from another solution to Commvault’s backup solution.Currently we are billing our customers per client and per used backup disk space. It would be great if we could handle the billing the same way as before.We are now looking for the best way the get the used disk space per client. Ideally directly with a SQL query. In another thread someone recommended the QS_BackendStorage stored procedure. While this looks like a good solution, we are not sure how to interpret the values. In our understanding the column ‘Backend Size (GB)’ contains the actual used disk space on the media agents per client. So adding up all those values should be equal to the used disk space on the volume.In our testing system currently 14.3TB of the disk space is used (by just checking the disk usage on the media agent - we currently only have one), while the sum of all values in the column ‘Backend Size (GB)’ of the stored procedure is about 100TB.So maybe someone can explain how those

Worm copies cycles

HelloWe have worm enabled copies. The retention is 10 days and 1 cycle.Now we have a server that is decomissioned and backups have expiered after 20 days, so we are cleaning up the stg copies. But coming to the worm copy we can’t get rid of it due to that we can’t manually delete a job from it. As it is now it seems the backup jobs will be in there forever.I know we can do the process for unlocking the worm setting via support.Is there a best practicies regarding worm enabled copies in the respect of cycles?Am I right to assumethat, If we would set the cycles to 0 the job would prune off correctly?BRHenke

Two libraries, one S3 bucket

I have two sets of media agents, each handling completely seperate sets of backup data.Each set of data has the same storage requirements.I want to use a single S3 bucket but have two libraries/storage pools, so the DDBs stay with each seperate media agent set.So, can the same S3 bucket be referenced by multiple Commvault libraries?As my bucket is object locked I’d like to find out more before I make any connections to it.Thanks.
