Hello all,I have personal and shared folders on my file server. These folders contain different types of files. I want to archive files that haven't been accessed for 2 years by creating shortcuts, and I want to delete files that haven't been accessed for more than 4 years without creating shortcuts. I want to perform these actions across the entire file server, but I also want to exclude some subfolders where I may need to apply different policies based on user requests. How can i achieve this scenario? Any comment will be appreciated. 

Hello Commvault Community,  Is there any official list for "simOSid" for the SetVMOSInfo qscript?https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/setvmosinfo.html We don't know what the "simOSid" parameter is for. As I understand it will take some numerical value that isn’t described anywhere.We want to change a misrecognized OS for a virtual machine for oVirt. Thanks,Kamil

Hello,I have a VM that has a pass through PCi device configured (GPU).I need to backup this VM.As  snapshots cannot be taken and CV agent cannot be installed due to network restrictions, I thought of turning off the VM before backup.There I have a couple of questions:Which technology will the pre-script use: ssh to ESXi Host, Rest-API to Vcenter or Powercli from media agent?Where is the script hosted? On the VSA=mediaagent or on the ESX Host?Are there any examples available?. I did not find anything on the net.Thanks for the support

We have an ongoing issue spread to multiple of our media agents. The problem is manifesting randomly.Sometimes (rarely), during DDB backup we see multiple messages like this in event viewer:63224:CVODS.exe:Failed in acquiring the lock on file [C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Log Files\PerformanceMetrics.log] Module [PerformanceMetrics] Error[0x80070306:{CQiLogger::LockLockfile(1403)} + {CQiLogger::LockLockfile(1397)/W32.774.(One or more errors occurred while processing the request.

Hi All, we are running 11.28.97 now we have 2 servers with windows file agent and we are getting vss problems: RROR CODE [17:176]: Failed to create VSS snapshot required to run system state backup. System state backup is skipped. VSS error [[0x80004005 2147500037] Unbekannter Fehler]. Please refer VSS Event logs for more details. After reboot the backup runs fine maybe 1 day maybe 3 days its different.  When we check the vss writer and provider status it looks fine. Also the windows eventlog did not show any problems. i also checked the hotfix lists without any hint.

Dear All,  Our mails and attachments are archived via enterprise vault and it will leave a shortcut to open it. Somehow we lost all the shortcuts in our mailbox. Is it possible to restore enterprise vault shortcuts from Commvault exchange (DAG) backup?Please let me know. Thank you.  Best regards, Rajes

Hi All, A bandwidth issue is currently affecting production network communications. This problem takes place during the backup period.In order to optimize our backup capacity, we are considering the configuration of dedicated ESXi Hosts for non-production backups.Since commvault uses vcenter to take snapshots of VMs, will these snapshots be taken across all ESXi Hosts, despite us having dedicated ESXi Hosts specific to commvault?Our goal would be for snapshots to be taken on all ESXi Hosts, but only dedicated hosts can transfer snapshots to the media agents. Our fear is that the vcenter will migrate the vmachines in the queue to the dedicated Hosts in order to take snapshots of the VMs.. which is to be avoided. Thanks!

When selecting system to restore the overview is bypassed and displays the content.  I will have to select the time range from the content page.  This only happens on 1 system from what i can tell so far. 

Hi Team, I would like to understand, exactly what the “Air Gap Protection” do?Is it just MRR storage target which can store backup copies, or will it have any core Air gap capabilities like restrict/isolate the access to stored data?  

Question: If “System created schedule policy for DDB Space Reclamation” will not run against mount points that support drilling of holes… will me manually running [DDB] → All Tasks → “Run Space Reclamation (and choosing “Clean Orphan Data”) actually run and clean up orphan data if I have mount points that have hole drilling support enabled? Background:I have some mount paths (direct connected storage to physical media agents, not cloud) that have data not associated with jobs, and appear to be full of “referenced data” (they list DDB’s as being referenced) or maybe there is some “orphaned” data in them…I want to clean them up and eventually delete the mount points.I plan to seal each DDB to remove the ‘referenced data”, but I believe if ‘orphaned data” existed, it would be left on the mount point after all the DDB’s were sealed and pruning/ageing occurred on them. I am hoping to have “completely empty” mount points before de

Hello,following recent restore request, upon checking we found out that retention of the data has been met and pruned back in 2019, now the client needs data from 2017-2018, so we identified some tapes used for the backup copy to tape, and can see that the tapes are not overwritten, so we can still recover it as per the documentation, could you please help me with the process how can i get the data recovered using aged tape(not overwritten), Note: its NDMP client for which license is released, and current backups are configured on another NDMP client following storage migration (just in case information needed.)

Hello all, just one quick question.Is the feature “cloudsnap” from purestore, to offload snapshots from the prod system to an “cloud” (S3) target supported by commvault as an aux-copy//snap-copy? https://blog.purestorage.com/products/purity-cloudsnap-delivering-native-public-cloud-integration/ Kind regardsJulian

Question: “Why” is it not recommended to use this setting if retention is above 90 days or ‘extended retention” set?  Would it not work if it was 120 days, or “extended retention” as set to 120 days and you just set it to 365?  What is the danger if retention is higher than 90 days? Background:In this document: Deduplication FAQ (commvault.com) there is a statement made for a setting in [DDB] → properties → Settings called “Do not Deduplicate against objects older than n day(s)”Statement: “Do not Deduplicate against objects older than n day(s) option to 4 times of the retention days when the retention is below 90 days on the storage policy copy. If the retention is

Hi,I’ve runned the planning phase of the workflow for converting DDB to v5 which shows all ddb’s good to go.What performance improvement can I expect in procent?Do I need to stop production before running the conversion or can it run with full production?Does it convert one DDB at a time?

Hi guys,I need support for a customized report that a client needs to monitor his tape drives, he uses a quantum and needs to know at the end of the month how many hours each drive was actually in use.
