You may have heard or saw news that Microsoft will be deprecating Internet Explorer 11 to work with M365 apps and services on August 17th 2021, and full deprecation is slated to occur in 2022, due to the changes in web standards and availability of modernized IE/Edge browser.   With this announcement we have decided to also deprecate support for Internet Explorer 11, and focus development/testing efforts on modernized browsers that take advantage of and accelerate many of the technologies that go into our Commvault Command Center.   Leveraging Internet Explorer 11 in FR24+ may provide a degraded experience, so we recommend modern versions of Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari when accessing Commvault Command Center and web console.  As we continue to evolve Commvault Command Center and pack it full of technology to enhance the user experience, speed, and load times, leveraging the recommended modern browsers will ensure the best possible experience.  You can always find a list of suppor

Hi there,I would like to discuss the following situation:I want to disable backup activity on the client, however I want to keep aging of associate data as usual. Is there any workaround for it? It is possible to release lincence and deconfigure client, then data aging goes well... However, my question is:It is possible to keep data aging on the client that is only disabled from the backup activity?Thanks for your responses!

My Boss found something he wants as a report and I don't know if there is a way specifically provide it. After reviewing a FLA (File Level Analytical) Report, the report shows specific servers that are backed up showing how much data we are backing up per client that hasn't been modified within Less than 3 Months, 3-6 Months, 6-12 Months, 1-2 Years, 2-5 Years, More than 5 Years. My boss loves this view point on a client level but wants to know if Commvault can do this on a grand level to show how much data we are backing up as a whole that hasnt been modified within Less than 3 Months, 3-6 Months, 6-12 Months, 1-2 Years, 2-5 Years, More than 5 Years. Does anyone know if there is a report such as this? My boss wants it at per site, but trying to think Commvault level and see if this is possible at library level, or media agent level?

One of the benefits of application modernization, containers, and orchestrating your data-center with Kubernetes is the ability to move to 'fully programmable' infrastructure.Now, while this makes the developers day much much easier as they provision apps / storage whenever and wherever they need it - what impact does that have on backup & recovery?Well, for Metallic (and Commvault) it is simple...Commvault is cloud-native, and we use Kubernetes Label Selectors to automatically discover applications based on the 'labels' that developers apply to their apps.Let's take a look at a standard application definition:apiVersion: v1kind: ConfigMapmetadata: name: postgres-config-demo namespace: env-prod labels: app: postgresdata: POSTGRES_DB: demopostgresdb POSTGRES_USER: demopostgresadmin POSTGRES_PASSWORD: demopostgrespwd---apiVersion: v1kind: Servicemetadata: name: postgres namespace: env-prod labels: app: postgresspec: ports: - port: 5432 name: postgres clusterIP: N

We have two clients that we are backing up which are taking up a huge amount of time to back up. Commvault confirmed its not the backups but the data traffic that is causing extreme lengths in time to back up. My networking team cannot go any further to increase the throughput for data. Brought this issue to my management and suggested to have a normal backup happen to the client on a daily basis and with a weekly full but the difference is to only have the backups not backup anything 45 days or older. Then once a quarter do a full backup of everything (including all the 45 days and older)This runs into an issue because I don't know how to setup another default subclient on the clients in order to generate a quarterly backup. I know normally this is all resolved if we have Commvault deduplication, but my companies motto is work harder not smarter and decided its to costly to have this option. Is there a way to get this results of:daily/weekly/monthly backup with only data that is withi

We are in the process of the Mediaagent hardware refresh so while procuring the hardware specifications, I am wondering is it ok to create 2 separate ddbs (one for disk library and one for cloud library) on a single hard drive?Please advice. Thank you so much.

I want to move media between libraries, but want to be sure it doesn’t get overwritten.

What’s the best way for me to troubleshoot a slow backup?

I have just added a Linux client to my CommCell, and there are folder paths that go way beyond 1024 characters. How can I back those up? 

I have been running backups for a week or so now, and just started reviewing the Job Histories. Looking at one of my clients, I can see that the Incremental is the same size as the Full was when it ran, which doesn’t make any sense?

I have a stand-alone tape library and need to ensure that I utilize barcodes from the get go. How do I add them for each tape?

I ran a restore on one of my Windows clients to confirm that my backups are working (they are!). However, it wanted me to do a reboot afterwards. Since this was a test, that’s not a big deal, but I want to know why it happened in case it is an issue with a live restore.

I noticed that CV does not seem to acknowledge the mail slot at all. Is this because I have a blind library?

I have one tape that I’d like to share across my Storage Policies. Can I have each Copy use the same tape?

How does Commvault handle the same name?

My boss wants me to backup the actual CV Magnetic folders on our libraries. Is this possible?

Is it possible to change the block size? If so, how do I do it?

I just started with Commvault and need to figure out my VMWare licensing.

Hello,There are two options to configure the CIFS Backup. What is the better option to use ?Via array management or via Client Computer ? Thanks !

I have some Linux files that I need to restore to a Windows server. I definitely have some files that have similar names but are different on the Linux server because of case sensitivity. How will these files get restored?

Hello, What is the best way to backup NFS and CIFS Shares presented by Netapp Storage ? Thanks !

Has anyone configured the FIM on the CV infrastructure ?Which paths/files have been included in the monitoring ?Thanks

Many people may believe that when they create a create an Exchange Database subclient and follow this documentation Configuring Consistency Checks for Exchange Database Backups (commvault.com) that performing consistency checks is on by default and that that procedure only applies to Database Availability Groups.  However, the setting you will need to check is not on the subclient, but rather under the Advanced Schedule Options.  exTiDbBackup.log18260 8bac  04/02 23:15:37 805061 CsExchangeShadowSet::GetSkipIntegrityCheckOption() - Skip Integrity check:TRUE18260 7674  04/02 23:16:10 805061 CsExchangeShadow::GetSkipIntegrityCheckOption() - Setting throttling to [0]18260 7674  04/02 23:16:10 805061 CsExchangeShadow::GetSkipIntegrityCheckOption() - Perform Integrity check of Logs Only:FALSE18260 7674  04/02 23:16:10 805061 CsExchangeShadow::GetSkipIntegrityCheckOption() - Skipping integrity check based on user option.18260 7674  04/02 23:16:10 805061 [CsExchangeShadowSet::parallelbackup]Sk
