Hi,We are trying to select multiple VMs and taking backups of all those VMs on our S3 Compatible HCP Storage.We know that the snapshots get taken for the respective VMs and then pushed to the cloud library. Correct me if I may be wrong.Even though we have good amount of space in Datastore, it is not possible to take multiple VMs backup as it is sizing out the datastore. We even changed the check on datastore space.Is there any particular setting that can help achieve the backups of the VMs, lets say 10 in number, more effectively and successfully ?

Hi,We have a big VM machine that uses 2 separated Netapp datastores as its storages. I wonder if intelliSnap could work on this situation? If not, which method should we do to backup this VM machine? Thank you.
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 and certification courses, but to do that, I need to be employed at
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.

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.

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);return vCenters; The input is a list of vCenter cliententities.. which looks something like this:[“vCenter1”, “vCenter2”, “vCenter3”] When I run the script in the debugger the script returns the following:@('vCe
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 parameter value, but this do not help; other snapshot-related parameters are not applicable because no failures nor error are generated);- vCenter seems to lose the control/ownership on this snapsh
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.

Thanks in advance.
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 mine would be an authorization workflow that needs to be accepted to allow any new user or user with a defined last login time.Thanks for your experiences and ideas.Christo
Hi Community. Do you know where we can find Visio stencils to create workflow doc ? Regards, Alessio
