Can someone confirm from Commvault that in the case where DASH fulls are ran along with incrementals and the tape copy is synchronous, does the aux copy job (from disk to tape) essentially make it possible to restore any VM to the point it was last backed up, regardless of whether a full or inc happened last? Meaning it does not have to stitch together all sorts of incs. but rather takes the guesswork out of it so similar to restoring from disk, whenever you tell it to restore “to” those incremental jobs seen in the tape copy are essentially “fulls”? This is what I see when browsing media and comparing full jobs to inc’s - same exact file sizes and content for each VM. I didn’t think the intelligence was in there but at the rate the tapes are being consumed, it does indeed seem like every inc is basically converted to a full before writing to tape.Is that observation correct? If so, that is perfect.thanks
When viewing a list of Client Computers, one available column value is Update Status which will show Needs Update when necessary. And when viewing the client computer properties, the Version tab shows some more info.Previously when I was running 11.13 in Version tab, there was a section that shows Update status and shows a table of various packages and hotfixe updates that need update. But since upgrading to 11.21, that section appears to have been removed. I’ve attached a screenshot showing that section in the older and newer builds of the Version tab.Just wondering, in 11.21 and newer builds, is there an area where we can see the Update status table showing the packages and required hotfixes?

What type of account and privileges required to deploy the commserve in Azure public cloud?
Hi.. Setup:- Two Client groups.- One client group contains clients- One client group contains Media AgentsA Backup Network using CIDR is configured according to: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=107131.htm The Media Agents have multiple IP addresses in different networks ofc... They have an IP address for the frontend (to which the CS connects to) and one for the Backup Network. Both of these IP addresses are statically assigned.. Clients ofc have multiple IP addresses too... One for the frontend (to which the CS connects to) and one for the Backup Network. The frontend IP is static, but the one for the backup network is a DHCP one. Dumping such a client into the client group sets up the DIPs as expected according to the Network Summary seen on the MAs. Backup also works as expected using the DIP.The issue is that when a client changes the IP address on its backup NIC, it doesn't seem to be updated on the CS or MAs. Backups stop working as the MAs try to cont
My company has adopted a new standard for service account passwords: Min 20 characters, must contain uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. My current password for the root account on the three nodes of the HyperScale on HP reference hardware does not meet the new standard so I have to change it.Does anyone know how to change to root password on these three servers? Is it just done via the Linux command prompt or is it done through the CommVault GUI somehow?Thanks in advance for any information.Ken

Hello, I have a question about calculation and usage TB license. We purchase 71 TB and 2000 Vm license. But now we are above our TB limit license. I understanded that all physical should use TB license and VM's should count under Protected Virtual Machines. In our case we using Windows File agent to back-up some of VM's but they counted under TB license. Under the client properties i do see Virtual Machine Properties TAB, that mean that client discovered by VM, but still using TB license. here are some exapler:
Hello All, I want to identify whether all database backups are included in monthly backup with long term retention. Is there any way to generate a report which contains database nodes with monthly backup status. Thanks Amit
Hi, I am performing a Commcell Migration and in the source Commcell there is a TapeLibrary that we need to migrate to the target Commcell. My question is if the historical data will be available for restores (i.e tapes will be migrated/re-labled as well). And if using the option “Allow imported media to be reused on this Commcell” means that append will work once the TapeLibrary is migrated or if it is read only and tapes will be reused (moved to scratch) only once all data on them has expired. Regards, /Patrik
