Hello, I just wonder what is the best practice to schedule the SharePoint Document? The current schedule that I have now is Full on every Friday and Incremental from Monday to Thursday.Should I change the Friday Full to Synthetic Full? Thank you.

So I have an availability group setup with 2 nodes with a database that gets skipped during differential and tlog backups. The error in commvault states that “Database [X] is not online and skipped for backup”, however this does not happen during a full backup.  I’ve confirmed that the database recovery model is set to “Full” and not simple within Commvault. I recently changed the schedule policy on the availability group client for Full/Differential backups to happen at a different time, but other than that no configuration change was made. Backups were running normally before for this particular database. Any insight as to why this is occurring? I’ve had the DBA run a native backup and it works just fine. 

Hi everyone!I know this may sound like a silly question, but I'm a bit disoriented about how to proceed. I'm looking to apply for a position as a Product Lead for Backup & Disaster Recovery at a very large company. The environment is a substantial CommVault enterprise system with numerous features in use. My background includes extensive experience as a CommVault engineer/architect. However, the issue is that I stopped working in this capacity back in 2017. I gained some additional experience between 2019 and 2021, but the systems were set up similarly to how I remember them from 2017. I've only worked with the Java GUI and don't have much familiarity with the Web Command Center. My question is how I can get up to speed with what's changed. What's new in the world of CommVault, and how has the way we interact with it evolved? In an ideal scenario, I would attend (or re-attend) all CommVault instructor-led training an

We have installed oracle 21C windows edition on a Virtual machine and performed a Full backup on Commvault HDPS(Hitachi Data protection suite). Once backup is successful We had dropped the complete oracle database and restore operation is failing from Commvault with below error. Error Code: [18:183]Description: Failed with Oracle DB/RMAN error [RMAN-03009: failure of sql command on default channel at 07/07/2023 03:05:01 RMAN-11003: failure during parse/execution of SQL statement: alter database mount ORA-01103: database name 'ORCL' in control file is not 'DUMMY' ]Source: win-ikui0t17q4f, Process: ClOraAgentCould you please help us here

I have the following problem, I have decommissioned 2 node from Commvault, but the license have not yet release and the customer has add 2 new nodes. So the system see that we are over the VM Socket License. The grace period did not active automatically and now I can’t log into the Console to enable it.  Is there a way to enable it via the Command Center? Or just to get into the Java Console? 

I perform a Disaster Recovery but the job stays with the "running" status and the progress stays at "0%", it does not show any errors and it does not show any progress either. All jobs are suspended and disable scheduled jobs. 

How to configure backup policy in commvault such that daily incremental are taken to different set of tapes where as weekly full to another set and the monthly full to another set.Please note the primary copy goes to disk backup and the auxiliary copy is to the tape.

HiIs there a report I can run that shows how many Terabytes of space the V1 Indexes use on a MagLibBehind the question are other questions By moving from V1 to V2, what typical Maglib savings could be made I am aware that V2 ‘bundles’ the V2 Transaction Logs with each Job - so there is still an ‘Index Element being stored on the Maglib with each job  Also the V2 Index database gets copied to the Maglib and that tales up space Overall is there a guestimate range of ‘savings’ when moving from V1 to V2 Indexing(Assume 100% VM’s and no file or DB agents)

Hello Guyshere at the organization, we are starting a new Project to Decommission the On-Premise Environment and migrate to the Cloud. We have VmWare Servers that are in my On-Premise Environment and we will migrate to GCP. Restore, out of place for GCP run successfully?    

Here’s an annoyingly wierd one. I have a workflow that does parsing to create a string for use in a powershell script. This is what the script looks like://Prep Hardcoded Values for use in Powershelldef vCentersList = xpath:{/workflow/configuration/vCenters};def vCenterCount = vCentersList.size();def BackupPolicies = xpath:{/workflow/configuration/BackupPolicies};def forCounter = 0;// Convert vCenter List to vCenter StringStringBuilder strbul = new StringBuilder();strbul.append("@(");for(String str : vCentersList){ forCounter++; strbul.append("'"); strbul.append(str.replaceAll("\\s","")); strbul.append("'"); if (forCounter != vCenterCount){strbul.append(";");}}strbul.append(")");String vCenters = strbul.toString();workflow.setVariable("vCenters",vCenters);

Our CommVault instance uses Nimble storage for data backup. When CommVault tries to backup VM, it tells vCenter to take a snapshot of this VM. After snapshot is created by vCenter, CommVault backup it.At the same time we have Nimble replication process. When Nimble discovers a new snapshot (created by CommVault), it puts the snapshot in the queue for the replication.When CommVault finishes backup, it tells vCenter to delete snapshot. But if the replication of the snapshot was not finished, Nimble replication process prevents snapshot being deleted. At the same time vCenter does not generate any failure for the CommVault.At the very end:-          CommVault does not repeat an attempt to delete because it does not know that this attempt failed (I tried to decrease nExpireSnapshotHours pa

Hi Team,we are running SAN Transport Backups agaings a Fully Automated ESXI Cluster. During the long running backup the DRS feature pops in and doing a Storage VMotion against VMs which are currently backed up. Eg VM on DS1 → is storage vmotioned to DS2 After the backup we still see all the “Orpahned Files” on DS1.  We tried to utilize the additonal Setting “bDisableVMotionDuringBackup” which did not prevent a Storage VMotion during the backup.  We are currently running 11.30.If i am not not wrong we saw in ealrier commvault Versions ( 11.28 ) a Taks in the VCenter → VM → Tasks like “DRS disabled” during the backup.  ( not sure but maybe with Transport mode “NBD” this issue is not seen ) Anyone facing the same issue.

Hello community,For an Azure VM restore, in order to archive better SLA RTO, is there any way to increase number of streams?I see that only 1 stream is present as default for every VM restore job. Please for your feedback,Nikos

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, We have installed LiveSync via the Java console, but when we go to LiveSync tile in the Web console to enable automatic failover and set up the monitoring nodes, we get the following message “CommServe LiveSync package is not installed. Install the CommServe LiveSync package and try again” Has anyone else seen the above issue? and if so, how did you resolve it? Many Thanks, Craig

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.

Hi!I would like to set this alert for triggering when the CURRENT BACKUP SIZE exceeds 200 GB. But I didnt find any info on how can I specify the unit in the value field of a Token Criteria Selection step.
