Hello Community,  Can some one point me to documentation that would describe how to exclude files on Windows Agent, default subclient.   Thanks. 

Good day Community,For a second customer this month, when I install the standby CommServe it hangs and spins. The first customer took three full reinstall to finally get it through. But the current client, it never works and always hangs. In the install log file, it hangs on this line.Adding environment variable [CV_Instance001] = [C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Base]When I look the variables, it is there.I’m using version 11.28.44Is this something common?Thanks in advance.

Hello,can I use a PostgreeSQL on GCP Cloud as a Database for my Salesforcebackup.Documentation says Postgree is al right and points the to AWS and AZURE Postgree, but no in GCP. but this DOcumentation is about 2 Years old.ThanksEckehard

Windows 2016 server Client is installed manually and is visible to the Commvault side. All the connectivity and readiness checks are Okay. But when we are trying to configure file system subclients, It gives following error message, “Client configuration failed. There is no license available for File System Core.” As this CommCell is configured with host-based licensing this need to purchase an additional license from Commvault. ? Kindly help us to verify this as we couldn’t found a documentation proof.We installed File System and SQL server agent with the installation. 

Hello!We are finally testing Indexing v2 for VMs and it seems like it is MUCH faster than V1. We are testing on our 800+ dev/test VMs and we have some random errors:Failure Reason: Mismatch detected in blocks being backed up for certain volumes or disks. The next incremental will resolve the situation automaticallySo yeah, I opened a new case with CV support but… it seems like they have no idea what should be done :)So, now the Support Engineer says that the problem is ...with the incremental backup before Synch Full. Interesting, but the last incremental is green. I am uploading more and more logs for investigation, and there is no answer [yet].So, I wanted to ask the community, probably somebody knows what could be the reason.BTW, using Indexing v1 with the same ESXi hosts, the same network etc we did not have issues like this.

Hello All,Commserve test failover was initiated and i have seen the final sync was successful but still the test failover was a failure with the below errors in the logsFailed to get SQL auth type from registry. Error [0]I found sqladmin_cv is being utilized to authenticate the same is failing. Hence do we need to reset the password and match the PACCESS on active CS and DR? or do we have any workaround or fix?Regards,Ananth

we have a very large Windows File Sahre Server. the amount of data hosted on these 2-node Windows File-over Cluster is around 300TB of unstructured data files where the users accessing it via windows folder shares SMB.the installed CommVault file system agents are good in backing up these large data set using daily incrementals, de duplication, compression, synthetic fulls. we aim at introducing a DR solution for this very large file share service over WAN-link to another data center in another country.is there a way to quickly identify the changed files & also the access files using commvault agent/features (maybe FOlderWatcher.db,...) so to replicate these files on a daily basis oven WAN to another server ? thanks, 

Hello, I would like to know if the information on proxy supported OSes is correct on the below doc: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/31916_virtual_server_agent_support_for_ovirt_on_kvm.html It feels strange since RHEL 8.X is not listed. Even Oracle Linux is not listed. On the other hand, if I go to the RHV system requirements, it states that OEL, RHEL 8.x, etc are supported as Linux proxies: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/107801_red_hat_virtualization_system_requirements.html Since both solutions RHV and OLVM share the same virtualiz

Hi All, We are still new with the CV / AWS implementation and have a few questions on how CV handles tagging.AWS – Commvault Install – 11.28.36Issue: Our AWS/Applications support groups are working on multiple automation and has ran into an issue with tags that Commvault creates.  Some of the automation doesn’t know what to do with these tags that Commvault has left behind.Questions:What are these tags used for during backup? How long are these tags kept? Does Commvault delete these tags? If these tags are deleted by the automation, will there be any issues?Any thought on this is greatly appreciated. ThanksChuck

Hey All, we had an stupid error. We are using an Tape Library with 3 Drives. We have defined that commvault should do the cleaning of the drives and not the library. It works for 2 of 3 drives but 1 Drive is not cleaning automaticaly. The cleaning works manuall but not automaticly.  Offline Reason:Drive indicates that cleaning is required. For a regular library ensure that you have cleaning tapes in the cleaning pool of the library. Then right-click the drive and choose clean option. For standalone, insert the cleaning tape into the drive manually and wait for it to unload after cleaning is completed. Then right-click the drive to mark it as cleaned.MediaAgent (SCSI ID)::fs100** (Scsi3:0:1:0): Accessible Do you have any idear ?

We just upgraded to 2022E. We would like to know how to reduce false positives from our roaming terminal services profiles stored on our main file server, from our users that are using Microsoft Visual Studio Code… I’m sure Commvault, you know that one of the file extensions you are constantly alerting on is anything ending in “.code” - but the problem with this is that VScode saves temp files with .code extension in users’ appdata folders. Here’s an example from this morning:Description: A suspicious file [M:\LabTSProfiles\jsmith.v6\AppData\Roaming\Code\CachedData\6261075646f055b99068d3688932416f2346dd3b\polyfills-3e1ee7640a5aae80b3466bca7f4bdf90.code] is detected on the machineAnyway as you can see, we have John Smith’s roaming appdata folder, with VS Code’s “code” folder.I’d like to know if I can use a wildcard of some kind to specifically exclude any .code file that falls into that Code subfolder. I do not want to

Hello,I have a nimble cs100 storage that is no longer in use. I would like to backup its contents with commvault so it can be formatted and used for something else. How do i go about this?

Hello, How can I open and look in the Folderwatcher.db thats created on clients for monitoring file anomaly.//Henrik Snipped from documentation:Up to 30 days of file activities are maintained in a database (Folderwatcher.db) on the client computer for use by the monitoring algorithm.https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=7879_1.htm

We may be merging our O365 tenant into another tenant.  We currently backup Exchange Online, One Drive, SharePoint Online, and Teams.  We also content index items.If a merger occurs, can the existing Commvault (V11.24) O365 Apps be used for protection?  Will items need to be indexed again?

 This assumption correct?  - If you  to start CV encrypting data sent dedupe storage my guess would be that it a completely new set of dedupe data? Once encryption is turned on, the dedupe engine will see it as new data rather than encryption version of the old. While the unencrypted and encrypted data from the same servers remains in the same dedupe storage, storage usage could higher than usual.

HI Community, i am very interested in your thinking of customization of the following topics and if you do this and on which way you do this at the moment to achieve this goal. Webconsole Command Center  Alerts  Commcell Console GUI  I am very excited about your answers and your experience with this topic.  Cheers Philipp

Has anyone ever transferred their initial baseline backup between two sites using an available removable disk drive (Seeding a Deduplicated Storage Policy).   We are looking like may have to use this method to get a good AUX copy for some remote sites.  How did it go? did you have any issues?  Thanks for your input.

I’m looking for some guidance or documentation on what can be done with ZRS storage. Say we have the following availability zones in the region.Zone 1: Media Agents and Hot blob backing up local VM’s, files etc. no Aux copy.Zone 2: Standby Media Agent and conserve powered down. Commsere DR recovery done manually.  Zone1 failed so we power up MA and CS at Zone2 - perform manual DR backup set restore Next step - getting the ZRS storage mounted as primary. - any links, docs steps would be much appreciated.Thanks,Regards,Robert        

Hi as the topic already explains,is it possible to create backup policies based on user attributes. for example department.at the moment we backup every user in our Azure tenant based on a Dynamic group,but we would like to create a different policy backup policy for a certain group of people.for example facility department keeps their backups for 4 years and the finance department for 10 years.I know there is a possibility to create groups in Azure for each department, but that's not very efficient.it would be nice if there could be a policy created within Metallic backup that applies a backup policy based on a user attribute, (in this case department)

Hello Commvault Community,i am currently having the following problem:We are having a Backup for our Postgresql Database, for which we are using the Archive Log Options with a defined Archive Log Directory.Under "Log Backup", we set the Checkbox of Archive Delete, so that, as far as we understand, the Files from the Archive Directory get deleted after a successful backup.Now, after having set that value, we still do not have our Archive Directory cleared from those Logfiles, which are successfully listed under the Last Log Number entry.Can somebody tell me which point i am missing or why it doesnt work the way i think it should? Or otherwise, correct me if i am wrong.Best regardsJan

I have a question, can we restore the SAP HANA database that we have copied to the DC tape and then physically move this tape to DRC, restore it using the DRC media agent and the tape library in DRC?

Hello, Someone knows a Manual  with the commands for create reports ? Thxs,Daniel

Is there a table in commserve where we can find the days since the last password change? also alert/event to find the login events for a particular user

Is there a way to create an alert or email notification specifically for whenever a backup job failes due to “insufficient free space available to create a snapshot of virtual machine”?I see this from time to time whenver a datastore in vCenter is has low in free space which is easy to resolve. However, I may not always notice the error right away.
