Hello, I have problems with recovering information from an email, which needs to be transferred to another computer but the computer that has that backup is no longer online but it still has its information, but when I want to send the recovery of the email The option to send it to another team is not displayed, but if I try it with another team it can be sent to another team. In this part I do not know if it is because the equipment is turned off. I appreciate your attention and I will read your comments  

Hi,After a Hardware refresh (SP24 MR 69) from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019 (including a database upgrade from SQL Server 2014 SP3 to SQL Server 2019), the Content Extractor and Data Analytics services won’t start.As a temporary workaround, I can make them start if I change the ‘Log On As’ from Network Service to Local System, but I would like to recover the default behavior. When I restart the services with this workaround, they get their default values back as I would expect (Network Service as Log On As).I was wondering if any of you had a similar problem and have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.Thanks!

Hi guys, I have recevied the following message from the Customer. We are testing DR Backups to Commvault Cloud Services Portal. I did a request using admin account for backup download approval and got message that “Approvals are handled by Commvault.”. After few minutes I received approval from vmathada@commvault.com that request approved, and I was able to download backups.Could you please answer following questions:1) How Commvault decide what to approve and what not? Could you please describe process or maybe you have link to documentation?2) Can we somehow configure this approval mechanism? What are the options?3) Account that I used is simple “Commvault User” account with admin privileges in cloud.commvault.com. How can we protect such accounts? I mean multiple factor authentication for example. I didn’t manage to find such functionality. Can you help me, guys? I cannot find the answers. 

as we know the documentation still states:Verify that the destination client has Microsoft Outlook 64-bit 2010 or 2013 installed.https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/110995_restoring_messages_to_pst_file_using_exchange_journaling.html (specifically what the current customer is asking about.) this version is going out of support in april 2023.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/office-2013-ends-support-one-year we have several customer look to release the version.but we do not have any answer as to when a newer version will be supported. 

We recently upgraded to 11.28. We have used the metrics server to query the Monthly Chargeback table under CVCloud DB so we can get charges back to our customers. This no longer has any data.

Is there a new table to query for these reports. Here is my current SQL querySELECT client.ClientName AS ServerName, MAX(CAST(monthly.FrontEndSize AS float)/1073741824) AS QTY, monthly.StartDate AS CVMonthAdded, --GETDATE() , CASE WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10000' THEN '1460' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10003' THEN '760' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10005' THEN '4903' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10006' THEN '4903' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10012' THEN '3303' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10014' THEN '9609' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10015' THEN '9529' WHEN client.CommServUniqueId = '10017' THEN '9609' ELSE '' END as BLC --, client.CommServUniqueId --, monthly.Clien

Hello, I am currently trying to replace a media agent. I have already migrated the DDB and set up the two buckets in Commvault on the new media agent. Now how can I transfer the entries that are shown to me for the library of the old media agent to the new one ? The library behind are always the same two buckets from our Object Storage. The marker on the screenshot is the library of the old media agent.  

Hi Good morning Team,In my environment we do have One Commserve two Media Agents ,the Two Media agents are Physical Window Boxes each media Agent associated 250 Clients machines each media agent having separate Libraries with two dedicated Media Paths which are conneted to Cmode Netapp storage ,now we have got request to move one of the media agent from current location to another location ( Lift and shift ) , so,as per my knowledge while lift and shift the media agent should be in maintenance mode and all the services will be disconnect from Commserve and start the movement , after reached the  media agent to destination location as per the location we need to change the IP as per that location and bring back to the up the machine , then we need to start all the services from commserve and media agents . But still i need more steps to perform this activity as below so if you can help it may well and much appreciate befo

Hi Guys, I would like to know whether there are recommendations on the block size of the cloud library? We have a Cloud Storage in our data center, and we would like to use it for backup. On the storage, we have the ability to choose the block size. Do we need to specify the block size or keep it default (32 KB). Note: On disk library, we are used to formatting our local drive to 64 kb, however we didn’t find anything for cloud libraries.Thanks in advance. Best Regards

Hi CommunityI am using CV 11.24.29.When I go to the Command Center and display the job history for a client I get a list of 170 rows.When I go to settings → export to CSV  … I get a CSV file.Unfortunately I allways get only 26 lines in this csv file (1 header line, 25 data lines).If I scroll down in the command center, I get different rows, but I do not get more than 25 lines.Do you have an idea what is going wrong.
