Hello Commvault Community, I've had a similar problem in other environments before, but I didn't investigate further. Currently, after upgrading from SP28 to SP32, a communication problem occurred in one environment for an OLVM backup. The logs show entries like these: vsbkp.log20252 4f1c 10/30 13:13:59 1413471 CVClient() - File[Client.cpp], Line[105] netHostName[ABC.XYZ.com]: Warning, deprecated call to lookup client using net hostname.

Hi.I’m interested to know if Commvault (11.40) can work with Veritas Access Appliance as Object Storage via S3? I can’t find any documentation on it, but in theory if it’s standards based S3 it ought to be compatible...Thanks.
We’ve made some adjustments to the Commvault Documentation site to align the content more closely with the product itself. Nothing is going away, and there are no changes to the SaaS documentation other than a label update in the drop-down menu. We’ve heard a lot of feedback that the terms Essential and Expert are confusing, so we’ve simplified the naming to make it clearer where to find the content you need.Here are more details on the changes you’ll see: CommCell Console (Expert) DocumentationThe Expert docs will be renamed to “CommCell Console.” The Documentation team will no longer make regular updates to the Expert documentation. Critical updates may still be applied as needed, but customers should expect new content and enhancements to be focused elsewhere. The Feedback tool will remain disabled. Documentation Site UpdatesAs of August 2025:The Expert site has been removed from the documentation site’s drop-down menu, but it remains accessible from the documentation landing page (

Hi all. I have a question regarding PostgreSQL.We have a PostgresSQL server with very little activity. We do a daily backup of the server with the option set to make a “Archive Delete” of the logs. Some times it happens that no new WAL files have been created, so the backup job goes to pending with the below error message: Error Code: [94:66]Description: PostgreSQL Database: The Data backup has failed. Archive Log files are missing preventing this job from completing on Instance [~xxxxx_5434~] Client [~xxxxxx~]. Please run a FULL backup.Source:xxxxxx, Process: PostGresLogBackupParent What can be done so I do not get a pending/failed job and so I do not need to run a full backup? Are there any secret additional setting there can be set to ignore this and make the job complete successful? Thanks-Anders
hello @Jennifer Kelley I have completed the course and as I mentioned earlier threat Scan does not support scheduled operations.I wanted to bring something to your attention. I attempted the assessment twice: In my first attempt i selected the option that says Threat Scan can be scheduled as David noted that was marked incorrect (see screenshot below). In my second attempt i selected the option without scheduling as I mentioned earliere for @Nikos.Kyrm which was marked correct — as supported by both the course material and documentation (screenshots attached). I also reviewed the official documentation updated Sep 27, 2025 which clearly states that Threat Scan cannot be scheduled.https://documentation.commvault.com/saas/running_threat_scan.html Could you please confirm this for me @Jennifer Kelley ? I’d like to be certain especially since we have an upcoming project relying on this information.You know we are an MSP and service company any incorrect information could impact ou

Hey , I am trying to create a workflow using alerts for failed jobs to trigger backups via workflow feature .though it allows me to pass different values for client names like VIRTUAL MACHINE CLIENT NAME - which I intend to BUT workflow>backup never accepts anything except “Client name” that eventually triggers the backup for whole client computer name including all 20-30 VM`s in that group which is not desired. any leads will be much appreciated.RegardsJimmy

Hi Commvault CommnuityWe are doing a POC installing Commcell 11.40.X on Linux. The Linux distribution is RHEL 9.6.

Hello,How does Commvault support backup and restore of Microsoft Planner? I know there is some data in Sharepoint and Exchange online. Is it enough to backup this and is it possible to directly restore the data back to Planner?Thanks and regards,Thomas

Our customer is testing Axiom and wants to backup via Commvault...the vendor gave them a script to shut down the Axiom server so I’m sure how this is going to work?
I read the documentation on backing up VMware machines with IntelliSnap support and I've also read the considerations on this page here (streaming and intellisnap backups for vSAN datastore) and now I understand the importance of the second snapshot, this one via hardware, for the entire process, but what are the advantages of IntelliSnap backup using just the Virtual Server Agent Snap engine, not a 'hardware' snapshot of the datastore where my VM is hosted? Second question, how (or when) does the Commvault know that it needs to take two snapshots, the first one, a snapshot of the VM’s, and the second, a snapshot of the VMware Datastore? Third question, what do I need to consider when backing up multiple virtual machines from Datastores with tens, perhaps hundreds of virtual machines? Last question, what are the recomendations in cases where there are backups of multiple VM Groups (Subclients), each one with multiple virtual machines. Maybe some kind of re-engineering to put as many vi

Hi,Is there a procedure to migrate the commserve from windows to linux RhelI saw a someone ask this question before but it was quit a while backI couldn’t find any procedure in the documentation Best regards,
Hi Experts,I am new to IntelliSnap. What I got to understand after reading is that with IntelliSnap based VM backup,A snapshot of the VM at vCenter level will be taken as well as a snapshot of the whole VMDK disk at the storage level. Then VM snapshot at vCenter will be deleted. The VMDK luns need to be zoned and assigned to physical media agent. Question: How will this array-based snapshot be assigned to MA? Then the data from the snapshot goes to MA to the storage. Question: It requires separate policy, right? The backup process is LAN-free and over SAN only. Right?Then how does the restore work? Is it also LAN-free and over SAN? Thanks ahead. Kindly help me.Quazi Ashfaq
