Hello, i have a problem when i make a backup from some mssql databases with the transaction log backup.Then comes the “warning”/”info”: Failed to set up DataPipe. The connection with this product's Communications Service on MediaAgent may have been reset. Check if the service is running. When i make a full backup it works fine. My CommVault version is the V11.34.5 on the CommCell and the MSSQL iData Backup Agent on the client side. Thanks a lotDietmar

Customer wants to recover a calender item from an Exchange Database.But the recovered object has now the message icon and got the message class ID.The documentation only mentions “messages” but doesn’t list “not supported” message class items.So, it would be great to get some feedback and maybe even the documentation updated to make it easier for other user to find. kind regardsJoerg

Hi Team, I'm very new to the Rest API, but I was only able to create an authtoken :) As far as I learned, when the authtoken is created, the max. It can be used for 30 days. After this period, it is necessary to create a new authtoken and use the new authtoken. We are thinking something like this, Is it possible to do this?We are trying to create a powershell script, this script will create a new authtoken every time it runs and will automatically use the new authtoken, then we will be able to GET the information we want from Commvault. Rest

We have large RDS SQL server in our environment and currently backup is not using multifile option and backup is very slow. I check the AWS documentation, it says that for large large database it support multifile backups.Importing and exporting SQL Server databases using native backup and restore - Amazon Relational Database Service Amazon S3 has a size limit of 5 TB per file. For native backups of larger databases, you can use multifile backup. example:Example of multifile backup exec msdb.dbo.rds_backup_database @source_db_name='mydatabase', @s3_arn_to_backup_to='arn:aws:s3:::mybucket/backup*.bak', @number_of_files=4; My question is Does Commvault support (v11.32) multifile backup for RDS SQL server. Best Regards

Hello Team,We are going to implement new Commvault backup solution.Currently the backup solution running VM's image backup and application like SQL, Oracle and Exchange is configured agent based.SQL DB - Always-On & Failover cluster (both configuration is available). Going to new Commvault solution will use below mentioned configuration.Will take entire Image backup. Will take image with application-aware backup also. For SQL Always-on what is the best practice will follow the VM's with application-aware (each SQL AG group will create job and include VM's in part of AG). What is the backup configuration of SQL using Windows failover VM's (is it supported application aware backup).

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,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
