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! Have a read through the doc link above, you can see that there is a risk that this could be used to inject SQL code into the workflow and do something you did not intend to happen.Instead, change it to below…SELECT c.id, c.displayNameFROM APP_ClientGroupAssoc cg

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?

May I know if anyone encountered this error before when adding cloud storage on Command Center?

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

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,

Hi, I am doing some testing related to Disaster Recovery. i am new in Commvault I want to understand About periodic Classic replication , Periodic and Continuous replication. I didn't Understand how it work. Anyone can help me to understand. This is Backup based replication or VMware to VMware based replicationI have some questions -1.

Hello, What is the correct procedure to add a new tape drive to an existing shared tape library? If I go to the expert storage wizard and hit either detect or exhaustive detection, the new drive is configured as a new library. Never under the existing library.Note that this is SAN library, partitioned, and in the same partition we added the new drive. Regards,Pedro

As a kind of Ransomware protection test we wanted to see how Commvault backup behaves when someone deletes the bucket content through a backdoor using a S3 browser for example. As the content of the locked bucket is physically still there (just not visible through a delete marker), CV should be able to restore them somehow. CV is also set up as WORM with the right WORM workflow of course.But after deleting the bucket content incl. the commvault backup tree, the CV cloud library goes offline as loosing the mount-path. Question: what would be the right procedure to re-enable commvault to restore the content?
