Hi,Is there a way in 11.32.38 we can check what all VMs from the vCenter client are not yet protected/backed up by any subclient to our cloud library?

I have configured Edge Drive in my Commvault environment, and I have connected a laptop client to it. However, the synchronization status remains stuck on ‘preparation.

We are migrating clients with their LTR backups on tapes to the new Commcell. Question: what happens to the retention rules? will they be applied in the new CS and aged as per retention rules?

 Ok, So I am passing two string variables to the Logevent activity.One for severity, and one for status.And its throwing the following : I did no such thing Apparently it’s expecting a “SeverityLevel” object. ​​​​​​It’s expecting a severity level object?The wierd thing is that I have done this before without a problem so I don’t know what the issue is. I can’t get Jiggy with this someone help.

Hello community,I have a customer that uses Metallic (I know Commvault Cloud… :-)  ) and they are asking if Metallic backs up the SharePoint retention tags/labels of SharePoint objects. They heavily use those and before implementing they want to make sure they are protected and restored with the object.I looked everywhere and just couldn’t find the answer.Anyone has an idea?Many thanks in advance.

Hello,We are backing up VMWare VMs using image level backup. These VM have client file system iDA installed to backup NFS and RDM LUNs which are mapped to VMs.We have performed the restore of one of the VM in test environment with different name, to restore the files & folders into the RDM LUN we want to register the client agent with the Commserve with new hostname without re-installing the agent.Is there a way to achieve this?PS: We are not using IntelliSnap feature.

I have a customer that installed trend micro deep security on his commserve 11.24.65and He receive this error in ddb verification:  and also He received this alert in his mailbox:maybe do I need to exclude File extensions ? I think This is the document that talking about it: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/antivirus_exclusions_for_windows.html  ?or maybe I need to use another document to exclude file extensions ?Best Regards.

Hi All,i can’t find in the documentation how to configure secure access on a web service for a linux Web server.the documentation seems to be only available for windows webserver.is there a documentation for securing linux webserver ?regards,   

Hello Commvault Community, I would like to know about the type of operation in the /Base/JobControl directory and the contents stored there. The environment runs on ServicePack 28 (Commvault Platform Release 2022E) Scenario:- I have a production server with a database CV agent installed- Schedule Policy based on weekly full backups and frequent incremental backups (logs - 30 minutes for example)- The backup jobs themselves perform and finish fine, they dont report any errors/failures On the production server, in the /opt/commvault/xyz/base/jobcontrol directory, there are hundreds/thousands of small 1KB files called e.g. 0.01, 1.75, 2.35, etc., which are not cleaned up after the job is completed.Some of these files are kept for many months and are not deleted.What is in these files and should they be kept for so long or should they be deleted after the backup job is completed?I am afraid that

Hello,I try restore messages from Exchange backup and I see on log next messages:I see  this error when I try restore over “create recovery point” and “recover messages from an offline database”. All requirements for restoration have been satisfied.

Is the consumption of Operating Instances (500GB capped) counted based on the total capacity of a host or the backup data transaction size per job?For example, if a physical server has a total capacity of 1TB and is used for SQL databases with a backup data size of around 200GB per job daily, how many OI licenses are needed for this scenario if the customer wants to use OI licenses? I'd like to clarify whether it's based on the total capacity of the server or the backup data size per-job transaction.

Background:Running on Commvault 11.28.xI have a folder that basically like this that is needing to have all files and folders in it backed up and its not backing up anything, even though there are files/folders inside it.The path is: \\folder1\folder2\Some Folder [1010-00909]NOTE: This folder is a Windows file share, not *nixCurrently I have this in the ‘Content’ configuration in the subclient, which just has a \ at the end of the path: \folder1\folder2\Some Folder [1010-00909]\Question 1: I was under the impression that you had to put a ‘\’ at the end of a file share path and this would cause all files/folders to be backed up inside the folder. Looking at the online docs: Wildcards for the Windows File System Agent (commvault.com) It does not list

Hello community, The disk library has 4 mountpaths connected via fiber channel. Unfortunately, one of these has hit a snag and is beyond repair, which might cause issue when browse/recover backup data.While we could consider running a full backup for all servers tied to this lib, but it's not exactly our top choice. Question:How to pinpoint the affected clients on the faulty mount path and find the oldest backup history for these clients?  (do need open a support case and upload CS DB ?)Once I've got that info, I can kick off fresh full backups just for those clients and also manually age data based on the backup history findings. thanks

Hello,we are currently discussing internally whether Commvault can be an alternative to Dell's AppSync product. AppSync was presented to us as being able to create immutable snapshots on the primary storage array. We have Dell VPLEX in use, with Dell Powerstores in the backend.As we are already using Commvault, our idea was to create the snapshots via Intellisnap. Do any of you know whether you can also give the snapshots the immutable flag via Commvault, as AppSync does?

Hi all I have a two part question. I have 2 storage libraries which replicate from Production to DR. Commvault isn’t aware of this replication and therefore the DR library is effectively a ‘dumb’ copy.If I get the Replica Disk Library working, will the existing data on the DR copy be visible to Commvault, or only newly replicated data post creation of the Replica Library creation? Regarding the creation of the Replica Disk Library, I’ve run into some issues whereby I create it and the data isn’t visible. This is currently being done in a Lab environment so as to not interfere with the customer’s data. I somehow need to configure Commvault at the customer’s site that’ll allow it to recognise the replicated data that it hasn’t been managing. According to the documentation, the following steps should be completed. 

Hello I tried to restore messages from Exchange DB and the job  of persistent recovery stuck on 5% (the backup locate in disks not tapes)and in the media agent that need to create the  recovery point I receive this error in 3dnfs.log:“Failed to send keep alive message to Restore head”maybe I need to restore the DB and then restore messages from DB offline  thank you . 

Hello,Currently, I am using a media agent server with Tape Library LTO 6. We are in the process of purchasing a new tape library, LTO9. Do I have the ability to connect to a parallel 2 tape library? There will be no backups performed on the old system, but items will need to be restored if necessary; the new system will need to copy the new data.

Hello Team,Please advise, how to move backup data from LTO-7 media (tape library LTO-7) to LTO-9 (tape library LTO-9).The tape library is connected to Hyperscale environment.We have four storage policies and all the policies are configured aux. copies.Thanks in advance.

Hi, Has anyone come across a quarantine issue on commvault files by checkpoint endpoint antivirus ? It seems like the files are not signed hence, they are recognized by checkpoint as malware or other menaces. If so, how have you been able to work around it? Regards.

Hello Commvault community,I would like to talk about “Virtual Machine(s) has been decommissioned” alerts.I see that Commvault can understand when a VM is decommissioned.So, in order to safe a Commvault license for this decommissioned VM, I need to manual remove it from VM group or Commvault can handle that automatically?Moreover, it is also necessary to delete the history / previous VM backup jobs (for this decommissioned VM), so stop to consume Commvault VM license?Best regards,Nikos

Hello all!  I am facing a problem with capacity licence.I have exceeded 110% while creating backup for end of year export.But we have done housekeeping after that, and now we are about 92%, please have a look:In web console, I also can see this chart:but still I get a warning on console:And it forces me to reset it every 96h… The system is running at this 92% consumption for about 5 days. Today i have found this in web console in other place…

Hi Team, Which agent types have "Validate" options for restore operations? Is there a document page where I can see this in general?File System Agent Example: Microsoft SQL Agent Example: 

There used to be a command in the documentation using which I used to increase the number of rows in the reports, which is by the way set to maximum 10000 rows. I know that we can go past 10000 using reports in command center or web console. But here I am asking about the same to be done in commcell console reports. I know there was a command and I used that several times. But now its nowhere to be found. Does anyone remembers that?

can anyone help me know the difference between Difference between retention lock ,Enabling WORM , compliance lock if we execute enable retention lock workflow will we be able to disable it later ?
