Hello, How can i check if big data apps clean running properly, because i see on the vm backup SP 142 big data apps jobs. We are using Inde V2 so the big data apps creating not on subclient level but on vm level?  For example here is the printscreen of out vm SP. There 139 jobs of big data. Now i want to know if the clean up working or not. We are using System Created for Index Backups that runs once a day. But i dont see the scheduler for clean up. How can i check it?    

We want to be able to restore all the data that we have archived for a customer back to the same server.  They have archiving setup in both FS and a NAS location.  They want to decommission archiving  I  can trigger a restore from the most recent synthetic fulll archive and restore all the data back to production servers; however just wanted to make sure it would completely replace all the stubs that were ever created on the source server.  I was reading through the documentation as as I understand the retention of the stubbed data only works on copies at the moment the storage policy sends data to local ma and one aux copy to another location and third one to tape; so hopefully the SP retention policy wont apply to the local MediaAgent.“ Retention is only considered for copies that contain the job. From <

Hi Team, Is there way to determine to see one of our client computer group license usage on commcell console or command center ?I checked some but didn’ t find any related. If doesnt have that would be great I think. Best Regards.

I have a slow running Auxcopy job that I wish to analyse  , this job has been running over several days. I suspended and resumed the job nad then looked at the destination media agents CvPerfLogAnalyze.logfor the performance analysis. There are no entries in this log since July lasy year, is this a bug or has logging been inadvertently disabled. CV Version 11.28.73

I get “Failed to start backups as no eligible subclients were found” when i attempt run run a Synthetic full backup schedule that contains Mongo Big Data clients. I can however run the incremental schedule with no problems. There are no blackout windows defined for the clients. I did have these clients associated with a Plan but have now disassociated these.

Hi,My client changed the port number of his SQL instance to a specific number. His reason was to hide the instance for security purposes. However, it caused Commvault failed to backup that SQL database. with the error “Failed to validate the credentials for instance...”The client told me that everything that needs to point to that instance has to has the instance name like this SQLDB01,port-number\DB01 I wonder, what could I do in Commvault to back up this SQL database?Thank you.

Details below, but in a nutshell, I’ve successfully set up two VSA proxies for the hotadd transport thus far, one at each of two sites.  One site, at least, needs more. I “swear” that I’ve set this proxy up the same as the others, but for the life of me, it’s not appearing on the access node list: Both the existing proxy and new one have the following software: They’re on the same subnet (sequential IPs, for that matter) and both have established communication with the Commcenter on port 8403.  The working VSA also has a session with port 8400, altho it’s working so that may be the reason why…I can successfully cvping on ports 8400 & 8403 to the commcenter and o

Does anyone have idea or any documentation regarding security hardening for Tomcat apache on windows machine , i can find it for Apache on Linux server , is there security precaution already done on the commvault package not Secured OVa package  any help please 

Good morning,I have the following scenario:2 tape libraries A (primary) and B (secondary) 1 tape on library A went bad, we’re marking it as bad and removing it from the library How do I trigger Commvault to copy those missing jobs from the secondary library B, to a new tape on A? Best regards,Daniel

Hello, Yesterday I upgraded the Commserve serve from FR28 to FR32. Unfortunately replication process for Commserve DB between the server is not working properly after upgrade. The issue which appeared is: Query Result [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException:The database was backed up on a server running version 15.00.4280. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 13.00.5216. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. RESTORE LOG is terminated. Please let me know me probability  solution. Regards, Michal

We have AIX client where we haven’t configured Commvault, But our server team had cloned this AIX client from another server.When I give Commvault status command on this cloned server, it displays the name of the server that is in backup.I want to uninstall Commvault from the cloned server and if I select “Remove all packages locally” will it uninstall the Commvault from the server which we are backing up? As this cloned server displays the name of the server that is in backup.I understand that remove all package locally does decoupled uninstallation where it doesn’t communicate with Commserve computer. I just want to make sure, me uninstalling package from cloned server shouldn’t affect the original one.

Hello,I installed by my customer the CDR package on the Commserve server (V 2022E) to replicate DRBACKUP directory to another windows server. It didn’t work for unknown reason, so I decided to uninstall/reinstall/repair the package. But there is no option, how to do it. So I released the license for for the CDR client and then deleted. Now I have no access to the CDR client software and its not possible to uninstall/activate/reconfigure it. Is there any possibility to reinstall/uninstall the CDR client on the Commserve server ?Thank youJiri. 

Hi,I tried to extend the File Extensions for Windows File Server Archiving but cannot find the Option in the Command Center or a Additional Setting. In the old days this was possible I guess.Can someone help?Kind Regards

A few days ago, I created a new schedule policy for our Linux file server (which has about 377 TB of data), moving it from 3x daily incremental backups to 1x daily. Since then, the incremental backup job for this particular server has been in the “Scan” stage for 19 hours. The job does not appear to be hung, as the Job Update Time is updating regularly. Is switching the schedule associated with a subclient enough to prompt a rescan of everything? Is this normal behavior? Prior to this, the incremental backups would take between 3 and 7 hours. 

Hi,We’re running Commvault 11.24.116We need to move all data from one existing mount path to another existing mount path. Both with data in them.We’ve found this can be done in version 11.32 https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/157074_moving_backup_location_to_new_location.htmlCan it be done in 11.24.116?If so, where do we find the function?If not, which version must we upgrade to? Any thing to consider prior to upgrading?

We’re investigating creating a virtual disk, attaching it to our Windows file server, and encrypting it with Bitlocker to use as a “restricted data drive” in order to meet requirements for our client data agreements. While looking into how Commvault handles Bitlocker encryption, I’ve found that the drive must be unlocked to be backed up, and that file-level browse and restore may/will not be possible, given that the data is encrypted. I have two questions:If the Windows File System agent is installed, does this allow for file-level backup and restores? How does deduplication work on a Bitlocker-encrypted drive?

Hi All,We have configured Network Share backup for FSx and would like to somehow detect if permissions for the credential we use are removed from folder and files in that folder are not protected any more. What we found in testing that Full backup gives an error if it encounters a folder with no permissions but Incremental or Diff not. Any ideas?Thanks

Hi Guys, Anyone on commserve linux? Could you tell me if you are able to deploy any workflow? I am getting ‘Error connecting to workflow Engine on the console’...on cvd.log i see: “ Unable to connect to server: 0xECCC006F:{CQISocket::Connect(358)/ErrNo.111.(Connection Refused)}Nothing recent on the WorkflowEngine.log since the installation.Not sure if this is supported for linux commserve, though i do not see it explicitly provided in the limitations of commserve documentation.

Hello!Consider the following scenario:Oracle CDB DB named CDB01.Oracle PDB DB named PDB01Oracle PDB DB named PDB02Oracle PDB DB named PDB03 Customer wants to backup PDB01 only once and keep it for 5 years. So, subclient is created pointing to PDB01 only. Full Backup is made, including logs. Consider January 1st as the backup date. PDB02 and 03 need to be backed up daily. Then, a subclient is created, including PDBs 02, 03, CDB&ROOT and PDB&SEED (excluding PDB01). That sublcient is backed up with daily fulls. With 1 day retentions. I noticed that the backups for CDB01 (excluding PDB01) which are daily made, with 1 day retention are not getting pruned. Day retention and forecast report states that the CDB01 jobs are required (LOG_ RULE) by the PDB01 job (which previously ran only once and will be kept for 5 years). How to work around this situation?PDB01 needs to be backed up only

Hi,“If I move a server to backup to a different plan, will Commvault force the next backup to Full?”

I’ve had this problem for years with 2012, 2016, 2019 and now Azure Stack HCI clusters where, if there’s been some sort of blip on the network or with a particular host, that we can get increasing numbers of non __GX_Backup named (normal named) .avhdx files at every backup on a small percentage of VMs (not the same VMs each time and problem is intermittent).The disks show as differencing but there are no checkpoints listed on Hyper-V manager and this usually requires downtime to consolidate the disks by restore to fix it.Commvault support advised they’ve never seen this particular issue before and that have always said that it’s a Microsoft issue but I wondered if anyone else had ever seen it.I don’t have the issue with non clustered VMs where the backup type is set to “File System and Application Consistent” instead of “Crash Consistent” like it is on the clusters.I think the issue is probably more related to the clusters than the backup type but am not
