Domain/Forest recovery- has anyone actually used this?

There are AD plans available in commvaut- but that only backs up the objects. The only way to get the full backup is a system state- which is not included in an AD backup. There is also a test workflow within the command center that will test the forest recovery. My questions is - has anyone had to actually do a domain restore? Im not talking Bob’s account that was deleted, but an actual domain controller restore and domain restoration. I would love to hear about it.

AWS RDS Aurora postgres DB exports - Partial Restore

HiI’m pretty sure that last year when I briefly investigated this I was able to “partial” restore from export backups for RDS Aurora Postgres - I restored a TABLE ONLY.Now it seems I can only restore the entire database - has this functionality been removed? This is pretty critical to our use-case for using CommVault.Any help?Mike

Commvault Linux package creation automation

Hi Folks,we need to create quite a lot of custom packages (rpm) for linux clients on a regular basis (SAP-Oracle, SAP-Hana, Linux-fs, and so on.)We are currently doing this via ./cvpkgadd and then clicking through a lot of pages until the custom package is finished at the end. is there a way to automate this process via some command line where all necessary options (most of them can be left at the default value) are provided (which packages to include, to which commserve to connect to, ...)?Thanks for any ideas on this :)

How to add new AD group to have certain permission to clients in buik using CLI.

Hi, I have a list of 100+ clients in commvault. I will need to add new AD groups to existing permission role for these clients in security tab at both client level and file system level. Does anyone know how to use CLI to do it instead of going through GUI one by one?Once I have this CLI command I can put together something in Excel and run them in bulk. I know I can create a client group and add permission in this way but in our environment we have to do the change on clients. Kind regards,Boyi

Commvault 11.20.82 on Windows 2012 R2. Best Upgrade Path to upgrade the OS?

Hey everyone, so as the titles states we are running Commvault 11.20.82 on win 2012 R2. Right now we are just considering doing the OS upgrades as 11.20 is still LTS until 2025; but if there is simple way to do them both without breaking anything that would be great. From what I understand this is an agentless setup, with Commvault talking to the hypervisor/vcenter, and the server being a VM itself backing up to netapp storage. Let me know what you guys think would be the best way forward or point me in the right direction.

Slow Synthetic fulls and best practice or places to learn

Hello Everyone,Currently our Synthetic Fulls that do our weekend backups are taking way to long and putting our system at risk. They run well into Wednesday and they kick off on a Friday Night. I have seen other posts about simultaneous Synthetics slowing down the system and we do have them running against one business server, however the way they were setup before my time each job is doing different sections of that drive. I am trying to determine how to alleviate this issue. Would SSD drives for our Media Agent help, we currently still have old mechanical drives installed. Do we need to throw more processing power at the Server itself? We are trying to roll into Metallic to replace tapes and at the speed the backups happen even if we can get our system to send to Metallic instead of tapes it will be so many days behind if we do have an issue we are pretty much dead in the water. We are not a huge company, and I feel like a Synthetic is only supposed to write the new updated st

VMware CBT and Full backups

Hello! I know CBT is a VMware functionality that Commvault and other backup softwares use. Netbackup leverages the advantages of CBT on both full and incre/diff jobs. Does the same apply to Commvault? Check this doc from NBU: https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/21902280-127283730-0/v27791754-127283730Backup of entire virtual machine, with full schedule: Backs up only the blocks that have changed since the .vmdk was created. Note that the blocks that are not initialized are excluded from the backup. Backup of entire virtual machine, with incremental schedule: Backs up only the blocks that have changed since the last backup, as follows: For cumulative incrementals, BLIB backs up only the blocks that changed since the last full backup. / For differential incrementals, BLIB backs up only the blocks that changed since the previous backup of any kind. So, will Commvault full backups also get the advantages of CBT?Regards,Pedro

Should sso.commvault.com have tfa/mfa ?

Hi everyone, Commvault is starting to offer solutions for customers to restore their operations under the metallic flag. One of them is the restore of your CommServe using a DR backup, if you enabled the cloud upload. This got me wondering as accessing data from our Commcells or other data behind sso.commvault.com does not require tfa/mfa or offers the possibility of enabling tfa/mfa. Especially in the use case when we talk about our DR sets containing encryption keys to our encrypted public cloud storage (S3, Azure, metallic storage, gcp storage, etc) I think we could be running quite a risk here. What is your take on asking for TFA/MFA on sso.commvault.com? Personally I think Commvault should enable it sooner rather than later, but curious to hear other perspectives.

StoragePolicy tiering or moving backups older than 6 months to different storage

Hello community,We have Storage Policy which keeps all backups for 30 days and monthly backups for 18 months all on the same storage.To free up some space, we could create another copy pointing to the cloud to keep our monthly backups for 18 months. Then we would have 30 days on prem and all monthly backups in the cloud.Now, a new idea has come up to keep 30 days on prem as well as 6 months for monthly backups.And when the monthly backups are 6 month old, the should be copied to the cloud until they are 18 months old and removed on prem.Is there a way to delay the copy of the monthly backups for 6 months?

Commserve Upgrade - Best Practices

With all of the cool features coming in our Feature Releases, I thought it would be handy to create a list of Best Practices for planning and Performing a Commserve update to a higher Feature Release.There’s definitely a lot of Proactive work that can go into your process that will save you from potential headaches or even nightmare scenarios!Check out the Planning documentation first Plan the Timing out in advance - Make sure any key stakeholders know the CS will be down during this planned upgrade Do you use any type of Commserve Failover? If so, note the instructions for those differ accordingly. Upgrading Hardware as well? Review the documentation on Hardware Refreshes. Suspending jobs - Ideally, have no jobs running; though some jobs can be suspended and resumed after others cannot be suspended and must be killed. Check and Double check that you have the Media Downloaded or if you are using the Commserve Software Cache, that it is updated with your required Maintenance Release.
