I have a storage policy for MS SQL backups. The retention is 21 days, but the transaction log backups do not expire after 21 days. I run the Data Retention Forecast report and it shows those log backups are not expiring because of SQL LOG RULE. I’ve read the documentation and none of it seems to apply. I have other storage policies for SQL and this isn’t an issue. This is the only storage policy with this behavior. Anyone have any ideas of what to check?
Simple question.Is there any way to update the display name of the an activity through the script api?
I need to limit bandwidth usage to 50% during 8am-5PM for AUX copies. What is the best way to accomplish this? I am planning to select the source media agent and the destination media agents under the properties of the source media agent. Then I will configure the rules to only use 50% usage during 8am-5PM. What all does this impact? The destination media agents are used for multiple other copies coming from different media agents and I do not want them to be limited. Really just looking for confirmation that if I setup the throttling on the source media agent and select the destination media agents in addition to the source that it will only impact the AUX Copy between these source and destination and will not throttle any backups running to the source media agent or any other media agents writing to the destination media agents.
Hi,I am trying to duplicate Oracle DB from production to test server, but when I pick all the options and go to script preview I get this: I don’t really understand what is the problem, I’ve checked my oracle instance configuration in Commvault and either ORACLE USER in general tab or connect string in details tab fields are set on both the source database (target instance) and target database (auxilary instance).

We have the requirement in our company that all Mgmt interfaces/IP’s must be protected by a firewall. For HSX this includes the IP where sshd, http Admin GUI is running. But this seems not to be possible in our setup.We can not protect the DP network with firewall as there will also be backup traffic. So we decided to used 2 different VLAN’s on one of the two LACP channels.Overall we have 3 VLANs/networks configured on 2 LACP channels. 2 VLANs are configured on a trunk.Storage-Pool: not routed - no problem - on LACP 1 with 2 x 25G Data-Protection: should be used for communication with other Commvault servers and clients to back up - on LACP 2 with 2 x 25G Mgmt: used for sshd / http - on LACP 2 with 2 x 25G But according to documentation for Reference Architecture only one network can be routable. In our case both Mgmt and DP must be routable. I added some Linux policy routing rules and they worked perfectly fine until the GUI installer was started (via browser after basic network confi

Hi,in the situation where a customer has a retention policy in SharePoint online to keep everything for 10 yrs.and they have been using Commvault to backup SharePoint online.When they move from using Commvault to Metallic, does the Metallic backup also capturing all the items that would have been deleted from SharePoint online but its still held under the O365 retention policy?would this also be the same for Exchange online if the emails where deleted by a user but they still there due to the O365 retention policy?

Hi, I have a case where customer is preventing user access using IMAP/POP to Google mail. Since Commvault is using IMAP to download e-mails it cannot work unless customer will enable IMAP access. There is a way in Google to do this selectively, specifically it can be narrowed to Oauth client IDs. I’m not sure if Commvault cloud app client uses Oauth at all, but I kind of wish for it.So my question is this: does Commvault cloud app client have any Oauth ID which a customer may use to restrict IMAP access for Commvault only? If so, where can it be found?

Thank you in advance for your helpGaetano
