Hello everyone,  I just noticed my file server backups are not aging out following the upgrade to 11.30.32.  My file server has the CommVault client installed and I do incremental backups throughout the week with synthetic full backups on Friday night.  The last synthetic full backup of the month is retained for a year and the last Syn-Full of the year is retained for 3 years.  Does anyone have suggestions on what to check? 

Hi Team,I have Facing an issue in commvault backup, While taking the incremental backup of an file system server backup is failing  with below error.Error Code: [7:286]Description: Failed to backup file that qualified as extentsCurrent Commvault version  :11.28.24Please share me any solution for this issueNote: Manually I can able to take synthetic full backup it will working fine, only issue is incremental backup only

We have a physical system that we will eventually move to virtual platform. But - i dont want to try to do anything to this system until  ihave a disk image backup. How would one take a disk image backup and point it to our media agent. Im familiar with the bare metal recovery process but curious how to take the backup. Is it just the system state?Physcal system backups are not my strongpoint.

Hi All, After updating our Commvault agent on our AIX DB2 Servers to version 11.28.44, the logbackup is not working anymore.Tried reinstalling the backup agent, but no success.

Maximum size of VM, recommended for snapshot backup.

I’m slogging through a CV hardware upgrade.  My company is “trying” to find $$ for training...but so far no joy, so I’m winging it.I have a new NetApp E2812, two new media agents, and a shiny Brocade FC switch to bind them all together.My immediate question is, do I create two volumes on the E2812 and mount one on each MA?  Or can I create just one volume and let both MAs read/write to it simultaneously?  Typically, sharing a volume like that across multiple Windows servers leads to trouble, but can the CV media agents handle that sharing?I like the idea of a single volume letting both MAs access all of the available disk space. That alleviates the need to balance my backups across the different volumes. Does anyone have any helpful pointers for me?  Much obliged.

Hello Commvault Community,Looking at this thread, I understand that IndexServer copies for V2 indexing are not recommended to be copied to tape media.However, what if we have situations where there are certain jobs on the tape that are the only last ones left and block the possibility of recycling this tape media? I checked for this StoragePolicy and these tasks are on both DiskLibrary and TapeLibrary (we care about disposal of these tapes, where the last blocking task is the BigDataApps task). Can we safely delete them, being sure that it will not affect the ability to restore the data? I've also seen entries to do Media Refresh for tapes that also have this problem, but then what? What is the most sensible way out of this situation, right after disabling IndexServer backups to tapes (if I understand correctly, it is re

Hi team, I’m conducting a PoC for MongoDB sharded cluster.Customer runs two shards and each shard has 3nodes. (1 primary and 2 secondary)We’ve installed plug-in on all 6 nodes and all configuration went well. For 1st shard, we performed the initial full backup without any option.For second shard,we performed the initial full backup with some option for better performance....… Backup performance is not bad in the beginning. (100-150MB/sec)Backup size of shard is 5TB and should be able to complete the job within 20hrs.So performance need to be higher than 80-100MB/sec at least. Backup server and Mongodb nodes spec is enough and resources are always available.But backup peformance is gradually degraded as time goes by and comes to 5-6MB/sec.We’ve never completed the initial backup due to this unexpected performance degradation.Mongodb data is on SS

we have below licenses since when we take our file system level backup on this protected vm its using the capacity license   do we need to purchase voi additionally or its the same license   

we noticed difference in time from the  backup job summary reports which are generated from webconsole.Commserve timings are in EST . Backup job summary reports from commcell console is in EST but same report from webconsole showing different timings. Please guide me on how to correct timings in  webconsole backup job summary reports.

how many VM Proxy required for 1000 servers to run backup in hotadd mode. 

I just got done with the Foundations and Professional training for Commvault (5 days) and we talked a lot about disk and library maintenance.My largest disk library is hosted on a Synology Disk Library, connected via iSCSI to a Windows Media Agent. 5 of the disks on there are 100% fragmented, as reported both by Commvault Analysis, and the Windows Defragmentation Tool.My question is there a way I can take one mount path offline at a time to perform the defrag? Is that recommended? Under mount path properties, I see the Enable Mount Path option under status, but the bit about stopping the DDB from referencing blocks on the mount path scared me.I also saw the Device Enabled setting, and thought that may be the way…Otherwise, under the Mount Path Allocation Policy, I saw I could prevent writing to the mount path for new data, which is also an option…I had disabled the entire library and ran a defrag on ONE of the 100% fragmented disks, and it was stil

i need to reduce capacity license consumed by the windows file system level agent ,it was taking full content and i modified the default subcleint content to reduce the size full synthetic backup is scheduled on weekly ,  so the change in the capacity full only show after the next full backup ?unless we run a manual full backup and delete and age previous full copy

 Unable to find the events in splunk, we confirm that the host is reachable from commserve as well as the IPIs there anything else that we must verify?Also tried deploying a syslog server separately (enabling rsyslog), even there we were not able to find the logmonitor.log being sent.  

Hi,We have two NetApp filers where we perform Snapmirror Volumes in a synchronous way. So, the data of the volumes for each SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) are replicated in a synchronous way to another SVM located in another NetApp Filer.We want to configure NDMP backups using streaming mode. Questions:What are the best practices to configure such type of configuration? Do we need to configure a client at the SVM level or NetApp cluster level? In case of SVM failover, can Commvault make a link between the two different SVMs which are different but contain the same volumes (snapmirror)?Thanks

Hi , the data that's backup’d  in metallic cloud , be copied(AUX copy  or similar ) to On-premise  Commvault (Hyperscalex or similar)?  any lead would be appreciated ?

Hello,I would like to ask you advice on my VMware backup Plan.  I took this over from someone else and have been reviewing it.  I have a local storage archive for 90 days and online for 7 years.  I have 8 revolving recovery points being backed up.  The under RPO the backup frequency shows run incremental every 24hrs.  Under Database options the RPO is every 4 hours for log backup and full backup every 3 weeks.  My main concern is the incremental job every 24 hours.  I’m new to Metallic and want to make sure that this configuration is recommended and enough.  I know the engineer helped set all of these plans up so I think it may be fine but I want to be sure.  Thoughts??
