Hello team, Customer runs a commcell like following. Client - cvltclnt Subclient - cvltclnt_file_backup Storage Policy (Disk) - SamsungDedupe (retention 10days, Full) - SamsungDedupe_Inc (retention 5days, Incremental) Customer is using this option “Incremental Storage Policy” for incremental backup on Storage Policy. And they want to get this configuration info using SQL query.What table/view should customer do a query to get this information? Client Subclient Storage Policy retention days Schedule Backup Level cvltclnt cvltclnt_file_backup SamsungDedupe 10 FS_FULL Full cvltclnt cvltclnt_file_backup SamsungDedupe 5 FS_INC Incremental I’ve tried to find the identifier for “Incremental Storage Policy” option in the table/view on MSSQL but I couldn’t. If I have to join several tables/views to get the value then kindly let me know how to make a query. customer wants to get the values for subclient, storage policy, retention and backup level base
Which is the better solution considering the Cost, Space, Dedup Parameters, Throughputs for a Primary Copy only?Primary Copy : With Daly incremental, Weekly Full, On Azure immutable with Dedup that is a mix of DDB Sealing, Data retains longer than my basic retention of 30 Days. (Aux - Full Backups later go to Azure immutable container) Primary Copy : With Daly incremental, Weekly Full On DD - with NO DEDUP, with basic retention of 30 Days. Later have the Full Backups Aux to Azure immutable Cloud.FYI : My Aux copy of Full backups will stay Azure immutable, there is no change in this concept.Just want to make sure having a DD for the primary copy daily backups would be beneficial considering the above parameters.Can you please help me decide
Hello, Team So, i have just recently reconfigured my tape library and i can not identify cartridges with their barcodes.I can see the barcodes from tape library but not on the commvault end. When checking the properties, I see Barcode Reader: No. Is there anything to do on commvault end to ensure the barcode reader is seeing the actual barcode.
I am using the CV Powershell module found on GitHub - Commvault/CVPowershellSDK: Developer SDK - Powershell. I can successfully log into our Commvault server and run get-cvjob commands just fine so i know it is authenticating and working. What I am having trouble with is using the command Get-CVSchedulePolicy. When I just run it by itself, I get the output INFO: Get-CVSchedulePolicy: no policies found. I have a ton of Schedules. My goal is to disable an existing. Schedule Policy using the command Disable-CVSchedulePolicy. I am using an account that has full Commvault permission, and I can do this in the Commcell Java client just fine. What am I missing trying to see all the existing Schedule Policies and then disabling one of them via powershell? I looked at this Get-CVSchedulePolicy (commvault.com) and tried various swithes. Please help.
Hello again,my old pseudo was Bloopa, I have no access to my old account because it was disabled. I've changed customer and I had to create a new account. I use a selective copy to copy to tape all last fulls of the previous months.The current retention is 1 years. for the last copy of the year, I want to keep the data for 15 years. How to achieve that in a simple way.I see an option on the tape “un age Jobs” that allow to change the retention settings, but I am not sure if it is good. Thanks !
Hi Community,We are planning to convert our production environment’s DDBv4 to DDBv5, but in our test environment, all our media agents are in DDBv5. As the DDBv5 comes from the version 11.14, i am searching for a media kit package older than SP14 in order to test and validate.Is there Anywhere i can download a mediakit older than SP14 which is not available in commvault store ? Thanks in advance.
Hi,Some namespaces from the cluster are not visible in CommVault gui, so I can’t define an Application Group backup. ServiceAccount with cluster-admin role is created correctly, etcd is backed up, cluster is accessible from CV, except some namespaces. Any help would be appreciated.CV guikubectl get ns
Good Day,Commvaut Intellisnap is currently using FlashCopy.This "Snap" feature is taking a clone of the volume so the scource volume is cloned at 100% of Space Usage on the array. Since some time there is a new ( i call it new ) feature implemented which is taking SNAPSHOTS. This will take only track of the changed bocks and not a full CLONE/COPY of the volume. "Spectrum Virtualize 8.5.1 added a new feature called Volume Groups Snapshots. This is a radically simpler method of taking snapshots than the current implementation of FlashCopy." Is there a impementation ongoing by commvault to utilize this much more nice feature or any ETA on this? thanks

Hello Community, #1 Does Commvault provide support for subclient-level software encryption in Intellisnap for VSA VMware (MA/proxy RHEL 8.8)?#2 if it does, is the encryption performed on the MediaAgent, similar to streaming VSA backups.#3 Does the impact on production VM resources is minimized when employing Intellisnap for VMware with subclient encryption enabled?#4 Also, does enabling Commvault's software encryption result in approximately a 5-10% increase in CPU usage during snap backup? thanks
I have a question about the Shared Job Results folder as used by Office365 sharepoint.Here is my setup:2 access nodes, call them N1 and N2Both Access nodes have a Job results folder set to its own local local dedicated drive which is 150GB in size. In the Sharepoint client I have configured a shared job results folder on a CIFs share that is 1 TB in size and both N1 and N2 are added as access nodes successfully. Here is the issue:When I perform a backup of sharepoint I notice the access nodes local job results drives get used and fill up causing some failures of sites and subsites in the backup. I notice the shared folder barely gets used, but it does get used. The error reported for the failed sites is “Space Control Job level timeout 60 minutes”Am I missing something, do I need to manually point the 2 access nodes Job results directories to use the shared folder manually as well? Or do I just need to grow the local drives. I am not sure I understand why the shared Job Results folder
Metallic® ThreatWise™ SaaS Migration FAQ What's new? On November 8th, Metallic, Commvault’s game-changing SaaS-delivered data protection portfolio, is becoming part of the Commvault Cloud. To learn more about the move visit the full Metallic - Commvault Cloud FAQ. How does this impact Metallic ThreatWise? One year ago, Commvault purchased the ThreatWise technology (formerly DeceptionGrid) and launched it under our Metallic data protection portfolio. Now, ThreatWise will join the rest of the Metallic service catalog as it becomes part of our new Commvault Cloud cyber resilience platform. Will I need to migrate my existing ThreatWise environment? No. While ThreatWise (and Metallic, at large) is now part of the Commvault Cloud, this does not impact existing subscriptions, pricing, terms, support SLAs. Does this impact my existing functionality? No. This update does not alter existing functionality or current deployments – and will have no impact on current performance, alerting, or con

Hi Team,We have physical servers distributed across the globe, interconnected through our MPLS network. These servers are has the File System Core agent installed.The configuration on the agents is as follows: For our initial backup, we performed in the past a full copy against our mediaservers located at headquarters. However, to optimize data transfer and bandwidth, subsequent copies consist of a combination of incremental and synthetic copies.Periodically, every X years, we need to refresh the hardware on these servers due EOS. Our standard procedure involves migrating data from the existing server to the new one. Once the data migration is complete, we shutdown the current server and rename the new server to match the hostname and IP address of the old one.Before shutting down the current server, I follow these steps:Stop Commvault services on the current server. Copy the “Client Side Deduplication Database” - C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\iDataAgent\JobResults\CV_CLDB t
i would like to know how to restore a file deleted from a fileserverThanks.
I am working on using some pre/post scripts for a few linux docker servers and require to change the elevation.I have a previously setup subclient where I am able to utlize the “root” elevation but when I try to change that in the new subclient- I get this … weird message Where is this set? I can kind of bypass it in the command center- but not enough to where I can move on. Curious as to what FR enabled this :
