I’m deploying MRR storage and planning to enable immutability via the “Enable Retention Lock” workflow at the storage pool level, I’m keen to know anyone’s experience with this because once it’s enabled it’s not reversible.Typically, when using Retention Lock on a policy copy, we wouldn’t use extended retention on a copy and have the basic retention set to the requirement e.g.:One Selective Copy for Monthly backups with the required basic retention Another Selective Copy for the yearlies with the required retention Both Selective Copies would be pointing to the MRR storage pool with WORM enabled as a dependant copy in the storage pool via the workflow.Is this the best way to setup MRR with immutability?

Hello, is there a way to automatically disable disabled AD users in Commvault as well? Best would be to delete it automatically after a time, as well as delete users as well. Is it possible to automate this?In an environment with a lot of dynamic users some users are not active in AD anymore but active in Commvault. If such a user is known and has higher rights, it could be reactivated oder recreated by an attacker in AD and used covertly. We would like to prevent this possibility. As discussed here (User Group properties - AD groups user not removed after removing | Community (commvault.com)), we like to delete the user from the User list overwiew, not from the ad group association which is refreshed an every login attemp as i understand. Additionally, an idea of

Hello to all!I read some similar threads about Encrypting Network Traffic, but Im a little bit confused.A customer wants to know if the Commvault backup installation (11.28) has by default Network encryption over HTTPS between CS / MAs / clients?I need to clarify if encryption over network traffic for Commvault Servers are enabled by default, at this point I don’t care about Encrypting backup data.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/134328_enabling_encryption_in_commcell.htmlPlease for your feedback,Nikos

Hi All, Can I just check what is the expected status of the Object Lock ‘Default Retention Period’ on an AWS S3 bucket after running the ‘Enable WORM Storage’ Workflow?As part of the Documentation it states to ‘Disable Default retention when Object Lock is enabled’ prior to running the workflow.  When running the workflow (which completes successfully) on test it doesn’t update Default Retention to 60 Days (My copy retention is 30days) and remains disabled.  However, when copying data up to the bucket when running a backup to the locked Storage Policy Copy, objects are correctly locked to the required retention period by Commvault (60 Days) in compliance mode. So the question being:  Should the Default Retention be set to the specified Retention lock period or remain disabled for Commvault to set on a per object basis?Thanks in advance.G.

Use case:I have enabled Object lock on the Cloud storage bucket (Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3)).Enabled WORM on Commvault and set the retention for the storage policy.Result: Once the data is backed up I am able to delete the data manually in the Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) bucket.Does Commvault does not leverage Object lock ?Also Can we enable Object lock on Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (HCPCS) and WORM on Commvault or its Either or case.

So I have some scripts that I use to disable/enable the activity controls in my Commcell (so that I can automate maintenance task).  The script works fine on 11.28.65 and returns a JSON showing that everything is working fine.  When I run this against my Commcell that is at 11.28.69, I get this back as a JSON:{ "processinginstructioninfo": { "attributes": [ { "name": "WebServer", "value": "Commserv" } ] }, "errorMessage": "Failed to set [Activity Control] for [CommCell] with error [OPERATION FAILED: Please check logs for more details.].", "errorCode": 587203847}It only returns this if the status needs to change (i.e. activity is disabled, and I’m trying to enable).  If the status doesn’t change (i.e trying to enable activity when it’s already enabled), it comes back with a

Is it fair to say, The "Commvault Client Monthly Growth" report typically refers to the growth of data being backed up by Commvault clients over a specified period. In general, the "Commvault Client Monthly Growth" report should include data from all clients being backed up by Commvault, regardless of the location or data center?

Hi All,What happens if a bad person becomes an admin on the CommServe server and change the server date forward 2 years?

Hello, We want to enable Client Side Encryption on Commvault. Does we need to install a Commvault Agent on the Client ? Best Regards!

I get worried questions regarding protecting Teams and the payment models that Microsoft has implemented for Teams APIs. It seems as some backup vendors are avoiding backing up some Teams components to not put the customer in a situation where they will get billed by Microsoft. I have not been able to find any information about this in the Commvault documentation and I do not know the current status of this situation. Does anyone have some feedback on this.  /Patrik
