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’m planning an upgrade and move of an Commserver version 11.20 on Windows Server 2012 R2 to a new server on Windows 2019 installed with Commserve 11.28 2022E to get the MSSQL upgraded as well. I will use DR Assistant Tool as I usually do and as far as I can see in docs this should work according to this statement…“Verify that the destination CommServe host installed with the same (or higher) service pack and hotfix pack as the database that is available in the DR backup that you plan to restore.”  Has anyone done a similar upgrade/move between versions? Regards,Patrik

The Question i have is if we were to build a new instance of CommVault console on a new vm, and the current non working CommVault instance is connected to HPE StoreOnce , if we connect the newly created CommVault instance to the existing StoreOnce storage would this then loss the ability to restore data from the existing HPE StoreOnce. and possibly delete the existing data stored on the HPE StoreOnce.we also use a replica between the StoreOnce Onces as we have one on each of our two sites. 

Hi,Commvult admin account is created duringinstallation we have below query related to the password of this admin account or any local user password created in CommCell console. How CommVault’s password is stored ? Cyphered ? What’s the password renewal policy ?

Good afternoon!I am restoring files/filesystem from a Vmware in Commvault, but all files are showing 0 bytes in the information and do not open. I tried performing it on other servers and testing full backups from other dates, they also have 0 bytes.Can anyone help if this is in the Windows layer or in the Commvault application?

Dear Team, We have around 20 LTO9 tapes available to take backup weekly and monthly secondary copy. Now I need to assign each media to dedicated media group once loaded into the tape library not for manually move.I gone through commvault documents says that we have an options to create Barcode patterns with the media to assign automatically to the particular media pool or media group. My questions, we have Weekly and Monthly media pool and AFK001L9, AFK002L9, AFK003L9, AFK004L9, AFK005L9. I need to assign AFK001L9, AFK002L9 media to Weekly pool and AFK003L9, AFK004L9, AFK005L9 medias to Monthly pool.   Barcode pattern name and Barcode pattern option???? Could you please help to fix the issue. Thanks. Regards,ManiD 

Hello everyone,We are in the process of migrating several machines to Azure. Could anyone assist me in creating a script that changes/update the storage policy from A to B for all the affected servers? All servers have an FS agent installed.Thank you in advance for your help.

We have moved a tape drive from one media server to another media server. When configuring the tape drive in the commvault, do we have to deconfigure the old tape drive configuration in the commvault. If so does the assigned tapes on the old media servers loose the data?

Hello All,We're looking into implementing Air Gap protect as outlined here:https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/air_gap_protect.htmlwe understand the principle behind air gapping and what the benefits are, however I’m wondering what does the air gap protect storage actually do? If we are already configuring an air gap between systems such as with a network topology, or for example with VM power management, ect… then what does the air gap storage do exactly? Say versus just any other type of cloud storage? thanks!Lani
