HelloIn Job details for a completed backup is the “No of Files(s):” just calculating files, no folders? Trying to find 4 miljon files out of 8 miljon that are stated as backed up but I can only find roughly 4 miljon files in source (with exclusions in mind)./Henke
Hi,We have a MSP customer that is backing up Virtual Machines for several customers using VMWare vCloud Director.Currently they are using the automatically created “Smart Client Group”, which is created whenever a new company is created to automatically assign Virtual Machines to these companies. In this Smart Client Group, they add a rule to include all Virtual Machines in a specific subclient that was created for this company under the vCloud Director client.This works “ok”, but it’s making this rather complex and they would like to know if it’s possible to assign a subclient/VM group to a company directly, so all new Virtual Machines that are discovered in this subclient/VM group are automatically assigned to that company. (Without the use of these Smart Client Groups)I have gone through the documentation website, but haven’t found anything specific. Does anybody else have experience with this?Jeremy
Hi,We are having an issue with a VSA Proxy Running on RHEL 8.2. (11.21.24)When we start a VM backup, the VSDiscovery phase seems to go well and complete, however the VSBackup phase hangs with error “The control process for the previous phase is still running. PID [343440]”That PID corresponds to the previous discovery phase, so it looks like that phase wasn’t closed properly even though in the logs we can see it completes it correctly.What we do observe in the VSDiscovery log is the Mono process starting a cleanup right after the VSDiscovery process ends, and we think that is what is causing our issues: VSDiscovery.log..343440 53d90 04/07 14:17:46 3526286 BKP CALLED COMPLETE (PHASE Status::SUCCESS), 3526286. Token [3526286:2:1:0:57156]343440 53d90 04/07 14:17:47 3526286 CVMWareInfo::ShutdownVMInfo() - VMDiskInfo::Shutdown complete343440 53da9 04/07 14:17:47 3526286 mono cleanup started… When we kill the PID manually and resume the job, it will complete succesfully. So I’m thinking ther
Because of a bug, my cloud storage hit 100% full and not all year-end backups were replicated to the cloud. I’ve worked with CommVault support and now have 50% free space. Even though the Aux Copy job has run several times, there are still year-end backups that haven’t replicated to cloud storage. How do I get CommVault to copy the missing backups?Ken

Hey guys,I’ve recently upgraded my Commvault comserve and media agent and now im in the part of updating all the agents.Some of the agents I was able to schedule upgrade through the commcell console but some have the Update Status as ‘Not Applicable’.(image attached) What does that mean?Do I need to go over these machines and manually install the agent?Thanks!
Does the use of combined Tiers in Azure ‘imply / force’ the use of a Media Agent running in Azure(Assume the Data in Azure would be 300TB)

Hello,according to : Installing a Windows Custom Package Configured as a Self-Extracting Executable File (commvault.com) It should be possible to use the /play parameter with the selfextracting CustomPackage.exeNote: If you want to use a custom answer file during the installation, add the argument /play install.xml to the above command, where install.xml is the name of the custom answer file in the custom packageThis doesn’t work for me. It is simply ignored and the installation is playing the install.xml included in the package.exe.Any idea, how to update the install.xml contained in the .exe or add some parameters, like the gateway to be used during client registration, from the commandline ?Can you tell me how to get an alternate / addiional install.xml into the package.exe ? (if this is required here)Simply using 7zip is not working für me here.I’m currently using V11.25.14The only other option I see is to either create selfextracting packages for every possible target environment
Hi Community, I’m facing an issue, and maybe some of you already experienced it. We had a client associated to a storage policy, which was working fine, we added a new MA and created a storage policy with this new MA. After that, we wanted to associate the client to the newly created storage policy in order to use the new MA. After changing the storage policy, we faced an issue with backups, indexing wasn’t working properly, which we fixed by changing the index server of the backupset of the client from the old MA to the new one, and now we are facing an issue where we cannot restore anymore (Below a screenshot).Please note that we restarted all services for all Commserve, old MA, new MA.In the DATA RECOVERY JOBS summary, we have a CommServe Management jobs with the storage policy index as a client, stating that there is no communication between the 2 MA. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Regards.

Hi All, an short question. We have running an oracle instance on windows. The instance is running under user domain\x and the backup is running under domain\y user accounts. In the reports we get the message: Full access permissions not found for User [papstar\ora-home] on registry [SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance001]]. Please address these access rights.ll access permissions not found for User [domain\x] on registry [SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance001]]. Please address these access rights. Is it correct that the user which runs the instance needs rights on this path ?
Hello Commvault Community, Today I have a problem with Exchange 2010 operations, and more specifically for the Outlook 2013 application.When deleting e-mails from an archived mailbox, an error appears:---"Mailbox [<Mailbox Name>], Skip / Failure Reason [Error: MAPILogonEx failed, reason:> [MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED (0 × 80040111)] <, Please verify that the profile this product created can log on to its associated mailbox using the Exchange Client Software. If this software is not currently installed, log on to the Exchange Server using this product's Exchange Account.] "---This is probably an outlook on access node problem, I just don't know what. Outlook 2013 × 64 is installed on Exchange 2010.At first I thought that "Disabling MAPI Over HTTP" would solve the problem, but this is Exchange 2010, not 2013. Interestingly, the mechanism for outlook 2010 works, but does not work for outlook 2013. In the attachment I am sending the content of two logs that record the behavior of the

I am a little unsure about how synthetic consolidation works.If you run only a synthetic backup on a given day and no other backups, will that synthetic backup contain data from the same day?Or does it have to have an incremental backup running just before in order to capture data from the same day?BRSteeler
