Hi all,A few months ago I came here to be able to restore sql server databases using the API instead of the qcommandshttps://community.commvault.com/commvault-setup-guides-and-getting-started-51/run-qoperation-exe-from-remote-server-5379So I have the xml file to restore the database and I have a STOPAT parameter.In the xml it shows like this :            <pointInTime>              <timeValue>2023-05-19 09:54:04</timeValue>            </pointInTime> My xml file works if I run sth like :qoperation.exe" execute -cs $CVLTServer -af $CVLTXMLFile -tf $CVLTToken Then it doesn’t if I run :$cvrestendpoint = "http://$CVLTServer:81/SearchSvc/CVW

Hi Team, Quick question hopefully. So if I have a partitioned GDSP. Two MA’s, one partition each.Reading from storage which is mapped locally (preferred) to one Media Agent, and then accessed by the alternate MA by Mount Oath sharing (set to read-only if it is not local). The target storage is up in the cloud. Two two ma’s have read-write access. I have my SP’s running of it, with the Data Paths set as Round-robin. For reasons unknown, when my Aux Copy runs, it is only using one of the Media Agents as a Destination Media Agent. Subsequently, one of the ma’s runs pretty hot, the other one does not. But so far, I can’t see any reason why this would be the case.To make it even more confusing, some of the Cloud mount paths have the preferred setting applied to them, but the Aux is not using it (not actually sure if its’ supposed to?). So at the moment, I literally have 50 stre

Hi all,Trying to browse guest files and folders to perform a restore on an EC2 instance but I’m getting this error  "The required SSM Agent is not installed on the instance".Can someone help?

Hello,We currently use Azure Backup Center to backup our Azure VMs, but we want to cut costs, thus we intend to backup those Azure Servers to Commvault.Is it possible to perform a VM Snapshot backup of those Azure servers to Commvault? thus I don't believe installing a file system agent will not work.

Hi Community,I have a question about the CommServ SQL server DB connections . When the SQL server authentication mode is modified from mixed-mode to Windows authentication mode, i can read the following in the below article :“Note: When you upgrade the Commvault software to a new version or a new service pack, you must change all Commvault services to use a domain system administrative account.”Windows Authentication for Commvault SQL Server Connectionsit means that if SQL are configured in Windows authentication mode, after an upgrade Commvault will automatically reset the SQL server authentication to mixed-mode ?regards,Christophe  

Our linux file server is a large VMware VM - 48GB RAM, 8 virtual CPUs that are running on a Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6248R CPU @ 3.00GHz - and it has about 500TB of storage on it, that our linux admin has set up as 12x 60TB (max size) volumes on our SAN, that communicate back to VMware over iSCSI.We get reasonable performance with our linux users using this linux VM for day to day usage, but certain customers and projects are reaching crazy levels of unstructured file storage. We have one customer that has a folder that consumes 16TB of data, across 41 million files. And while that’s our worst offender, the top 5 projects are all pretty similar.We’ve been using the Linux File Agent installed into this VM since starting to use Commvault in 2018. We typically see about 3 hours for an incremental backup to run across this file server, with the majority of time just scanning across the entire volume, and the backup phase running relatively quickly. We run 3x incremental backu

Hello Commvault Community, Is such a configuration possible that sharepoint agentbacks up documents locally, and its databases via sharepoint aliases are on another server?Can such a configuration be made and will it work properly, or does it all have to be protected locally, on the Sharepoint server where the commvault agent is installed.Thanks,Kamil

Hello all, I recently found out something that I missed, docs have been updated at some point, so wanted to share this with you all as well. (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/131495_predefined_activities_for_workflows.html)So take the CommServDBQuery predefined Activity. You have an input defined as a client computer group and then want to get a list of clients within the group via this activity type. I have seen many people do this...SELECT c.id, c.displayNameFROM APP_ClientGroupAssoc cg WITH(NOLOCK)INNER JOIN APP_Client c WITH(NOLOCK) ON c.id = cg.clientIdWHERE cg.clientGroupId = xpath:{/workflow/inputs/vmGroup/clientGroupId}Note that the where clause contains the input as a variable.So this is a bad thing!

Hi,Can we install a commserve with an externel sql server.Best regards

Hi all. I have a question regarding the Workflow Configurations (see this post:) In general I know how to use these and they work like a charm. Unfortunately I don’t have any possibility to see the configured values after setting them.E.G. I have a “configuration” with the name “TestConfig” of type String. I can set it to “Whatever” in the properties of the workflow and the workflow will use it. But if I have a look again in the properties it looks as if “TestConfig” is empty and not set.Am I missing something or is there no possibility to look at the configured values?

HiI’m seeing that we add new environments to our Dynamics 365 instance, our Metallic backup doesn’t automatically add them to the backup and we have to add manual. This happens even when we have everything selected for backup.We also see that sometimes these sites show as “Not accessible” in the status.Can someone help?

Hello Community I’m afraid my knowledge on system alerts for Commvault isn’t great and I need to know how to set up an alert if the Enable Scheduler has been disabled as per below.  Any advide or guidance on it would be great. thanks in advanceTonyQ 

May I know if anyone encountered this error before when adding cloud storage on Command Center? May I know what is the resolution?  I tried to search to any sites but got not luck Error below:"Operating System could not find the device file specified. The device may be unreachable from the MediaAgent. Please ensure that the file is present in the given path and is accessible."

Good day  I have a question around backup options on HP NonStop running Base24.I don’t see much information on backup options available in general, except what looks like a native backup copy command.Has anyone had experience in protecting this architecture and what options are available if you have?Thanks,Mauro

Hello everyone,I’m looking to discover O365 APPs (configured from Command Center) into the Console. Configuration works using 3 zones (Trusted, DMZ and Untrusted). It’s working ok but APPs does not appear into the console.Do you know how it is supposed to be discovered?Thanks 👍

Hi Team, I have 2 physical media agents.I have mount paths that come with SAN from block storage.The question is: I want to create 1 Disk Library and I want to use my 2 Media Agents. Is it possible?

Hello Team,I've searched BOL for information on non exclusive mode support (26.3.3.1) for PostgreSQL version 14 and unfortunately I don't find anything.Do you know if CV already supports backup in non exclusive mode (26.3.3.1) or still only in exclusive mode (26.3.3.2)I will be grateful for your response.Regards,Piotr Grzegorek 

Hello, What are the hardware/software specifications for setting up access/proxy nodes for OpenVMS backup? Documentation just states it should have filesystem agent installed but no further details are published.

Good day Community,Are there updates for Remote Office Appliances (ROBO)? And if so, is there a procedure to download the new firmware and to update the appliance?Thanks in advance, as usual.

You can use an SQL QScript to convert a transactional deduplication database (DDB) to a non-transactional DDB. But for which purpose? When do We need that? URL: Converting a Transactional Deduplication Database to a Non-Transactional Deduplication Database Procedure  

Hello, im looking to deploy gateway proxies in order to isolate customer tenants from the mediaagent network. my question is, do the clients need to initiate connections from their end trough the proxy in any way oris a backup job always iniated from commserv  / mediaagent server?Reasoning behind that, is that i could deploy the proxy with NAT without allowing any inbound traffic from the tenants network. i guess for registering client, the client need to iniate the connection, but afterwards? 

Hello,What are the benefits to enabling the horizontal DDB, BOL explains how enable this feature, but nothing about the real benefits except that split the DDB in 3 section first for File system, another for Database and the last one for VM.Can I expect to see an improvement in backup performance or an increase in deduplication performance that would further reduce on-disk consumption?Thanks,

how to from reports or (best) power shell check contents of selected Library / Mount Paths . I know that for particular MP can do that from CS console but i look for automatic way and more on Library level beside MP by MP.
