Hello Community, Commvault offers several ways to secure the environment. Be it Ransomeware protection, account lock after x attempts, unusual file activities. Is there an overview of what else is possible here? We need to raise our security standards and would have to evaluate all the possibilities that Commvault offers. Maybe someone of you has already discovered all the features or even uses them and can give useful tips here. Kind RegardsThomas
I have a request to run a report for all files backed up on a specific date within a specific folder. I am either looking for a report that will show this to me or a way to have all backed up files copied to a spreadsheet. I have tried running a file search report a Chargeback report and backup job summary report. None of these attempts are giving me the listing that I am looking for. Does anyone have any suggestions on what report to run or how to get the list of all of the files in a CSV?

Hi,we backup teams with metallic. After a cyber attack we want to scan all attachments in teams. Is it possible to restore all attachments with metallic to scan them?RegardsDennis
We are on 11.28.44 and I noticed when we disable backup activity at the client level of a virtual machine client (which has no agents installed), there is no visual indication that activity is disabled.Is this expected?Most other clients will show red arrows to indicate that activity is disabled - but VMs don’t seem to show this.I see that I can create a smart client computer group which could group and show all of the backup activity disabled clients, but it would be nice to visually get the red arrow indication when activity is disabled without having to go to properties of the client to check.

Hello all I have multiple Backup sets I want to create a rule on the backup set level to make sure that for example VM that is a member of backup sets does not belong to others is that possible?
We had an exchange online app running backups. the backup jobs looked fine. however the index status had fallen behind several weeks so when i went to a restore, i could not restore anything for the past four weeks. I had to create a ticket, they had to get somone on the backend to startup our index job. to catch up it took several days, during which i could not run a recent restore. is there a way to get a notification if an index starts to fall behind?
Hi... I'll try to be short... Here's the setup:- Two AIX clients in a DMZ zone.- CS connects to the clients front end NIC.- In between clients and MAs, a Backup Network is defined along with a OneWay FW. (set on the client group level) - Backups of each of the clients work as expected. CS can happily communicate with the clients on their front- end NIC and backup streams are running over the backup network as expected.- Clients are added to a UNIX pseudo cluster client. - The UNIX pseudo cluster is a VIP address (along with a FQDN name) which is owned by the active node. Issue:Backups configured for the UNIX pseudo cluster client fail as the DIP configuration for the active node doesn't seem to be taken into consideration.. Is there any way around this behavior? We need the backup data streams to originate from the DIP address on what ever node is active. CVLT v11.20.60 Any ideas? Already got ticket 210930-186 open, but unfortunately not much progress here.. Thank you for any idea you

Hi All,I have question regarding the Restore process specially for the VM Gues File system restore when done from the combined Storage Tier Cool-Archive being as used as end for long term Library.As understand, the Index and Meta data in this case will be in Cool storage and hence we would be able to Browse the data without having to run the recall workflow.Having selected the folders to restore, will the complete VM data/disk data be rehydrated from archive to tier or just the selected data?
