Hi teams,I would like to know if it is possible to segment a restore job over several days ?If yes , how to do that ?Regards

We have the following scenario:Cloud library → shared between MA1(windows vm on prem) ; MA2(azure VM windows) VMware VM (backed up using VSA) backed up by MA1Browse and restore from MA1 worksservices stopped on MA1Browse and restore from MA2 fails → “Browse failed due to error while mounting virtual machine.”We see that the cvvd driver is not loaded on MA2 wheras it is on MA1. (As per https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/30807_live_browse_and_block_level_browse.html Block-level browse uses a block-level driver to mount a pseudo disk on the MediaAgent being used for browse and restore operations.; Cloud Library Support for Live BrowseFor all VSA hypervisors that support live browse, you can perform live browse operations with the following cloud libraries: Microsoft Azure Storage: Default container storage using hot or cold access tiers with General Purpose v1 (GPv1) or General Purpose v2 (GPv2) storage account)  Question is : Is live browse supported for MAs in Azure?  

Hi Team, We are in the process of evaluating our recent Aux Copy performance to our DR site as we are scoping for future capacity and bandwidth requirements. It would be very useful if there was a suitable report to show me the rate of throughput and the amount of data copied in a summary format, similar to what you see when running Job reports and aligning by Storage Policy (as opposed to client). Surprisingly, I can’t see a summary of the Aux Copy results in any reports.Although the Aux Copy entry in the report shows the data copied, and the overall throughput it is only for each Aux Copy job. You can see below in this example, where we have a few days worth of Aux Copies:-  What I really need is a report with a summary line at the top of all data copied and the overall throughput figure.At the moment, I need to export into CV and then reorganize the fields so I can add things up manually.There is one other report which might also be of use, which is the Jobs in Storage Policy Copies

Hello community,I am testing a CLI (qoperation) restore script to restore a random file from clientA to clientB, but it is not working.  The script is getting the following error on the qoperation cmd for the restore XML file:Out of place restore. User [{clientB}_localadmin__] must have [Out-of-Place Recover] capability for the source and [In Place Recover] capability at the destination.Anyone have any idea why I’d get this message?The script is being executed on clientB, but I also get same error running it directly on clientA, the host where the source file lives. To create the restore script, I used the java console to select clientA/subclient and a specific backup date, then selected a sample file to restore and filled in the restore dialog as a re-directed restore to clientB - then saved the restore script (save-as-script).  I can certainly restore the file if I were to just let the restore run directly from the restore dialog, but for some reason the save-as script is not able to

If i want to restore  an email of exchange online, i cannot see any emails. If i use the java console there is no problem, I can resore a single email from a user. Anyone seen this before? User rights? 

Hello!Our auditors use reports from Commvault to verify incidents in our incident system. Mainly they have been using PDF reports.As of late we discovered some discrapancies in the reports. First it seems the number of pages created for a pdf differs even though the time frame is the same. We also discovered some naming and columns was changed in the reports. I think that both can be explained by that one: the PDF creator program might render the pages diffrently, Second: the naming and column change problaby was due to service pack upgrade.I also discoverd that the number of protected object wasnt consistent in one of the reports, I had run it 3 times for verification. All other counters seems to be accurate. How can this be? The reports should be the same if all selection criteria are the same?Anyone else experienced this? Headings of the reports below.BR Henke    

Hello guys,Currently I’m backing up VMs in a Nutanix environment, and for this Plans for each VM was created for a better control and because we are using Commvault as MSP.I verified that the backups are running as expected, but I noticed that some of the backups Plans that I configured to make specific folders and directories from Windows Server instead of backup what I selected in the Plan and associated to the VM it is making a complete and incremental backup of the VM.So, I just want to see if this is a okay behavior or is something limited of the Nutanix hypervisor? Thanks,

We are migrating VMware VMs to a new NetApp storage array via Storage vMotion. In our current environment we use VMFS datastores. It is our intention to create vVol datastores on the new NetApp storage and migrate from VMFS to vVols. Is there anything we need to know or be aware of as it relates to our Commvault backups? Is there anything we need to change in our Commvault environment or change in our approach to performing Commvault backups? Thank you!

Hello, Everyone.I have a client trying to airgap their data. They have some data currently backing up to tape at an off-site location.I know having a backup offline on tape is a type of airgapping but they are looking to sever communication between the production media agents and DR media agents whenever replication is not ongoing.I know commvault has some scripts and workflows to create these, but i am looking at doing a one-way firewall configuration between the production media agents and dr media agents, using the DR media agents as the source and prod media agents as destination, so that connection can be established from only the remote site. Does that make sense? i would appreciate any advice i could get.

Just to verify.The subjected workflow only exports settings for a stg policy but no action is done on the source commcell. Hence all backups etc.continues to work as before?//Henke

Hello,We want to backup a big Metro Cluster with many volumes and NFS and CIFS shares using the snapdiff feature. We started with default subclient and configured some exclusions of shares where we do not want to create a snapshot. Each share is on a separate volume but we saw that snapshots are created on all volumes even on the volumes with excluded shares.How can we control the behaviour of creating snapshots on backuped shares (volumes) only?Thanks at all.

Hi all, one short question regarding hyper-v data reader and auxcopy to tape.  When i´m using 10 Data readers during the vsa backup job and i would like to copy this job to tape did commvault user 1 Stream because its only one backup job or did commvault use 10 streams for the auxcopy.  As i know for vmware i must take the vsa v2 agent to get multi streams for auxcopy but regarding hyper-v  maybe you can give me an quick hint. Thanks
