How can I force a client to use microsoft vss during backup? the backup is trying to use a different one
I have a customer that has asked about the protection of Azure Queue and Table storage, I can’t see anything on documentation about it so I assume it’s not supported as yet. Is there anything I’ve missed? They’ve also asked about classic storage accounts but I’m pretty sure they’re no longer supported.Any guidance on these would be great.

Hello Commvault Community, Today I come with the question of what might be causing the problem with the OneDrive backup job, but only for one user who has a large amount of data. Users with little data are successfully backed up. This user was separated from a separate Sub-Client and a backup job was forced. It runs long and loops.In the log on the Access Node (CvCloudBkpOneDrive.log) you can see for this backup job: 1) For a long time, for different files with different file extensions 14220 38b0 10/07 15:56:06 222703 OneDriveBackup :: RecordFailedItem (2090) - * Backup failed for (/OneDrive/xyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyz14220 38b0 10/07 15:56:06 222703 OneDriveBackup :: RecordFailedItem (2091) - * [File download failure.]14220 38b0 10/07 15:56:06 222703 OneDriveBackup :: RecordFailedItem (2090) - * Backup failed for (/OneDrive/xyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyz 2) After some time you can see an entry about the problem with Throttling:4220 1 10/07 16:16:29 222703 ### callbac

Hi,Is it possible to use an auto-tiered (SSD to NLSas disks) storage as a disk library?Does Commvault support an auto-tiered disk library? What happens if the backed up data moved from a fast tier to slow tier?
Hello All,We have HSX deployed and few VM’s were added to backups and we tried Guest file restores. It completed successfully. However I would like to know whether the HSX nodes has ability to browse the windows VM guest files or the Commserve is being utilized to browse the guest files from VM.Also, if I have a dedicated VM with VSA installed how I can force the VM to be utilized for browsing the VM guest files. This VM should be utilized only for browse and its not required during the backup operation.Regards,Ananth

Have some alerts that just started showing up in the past couple of days for a particular AWS cloud libraryCloud MountPath(s) without pruner MediaAgent [ {Library[Lib1] MountPath[[store2] s3-backup] DeviceName[Device_94]} ] (yesterday and today. Same time each day)andFailure Reason: Failed to check status of parent directory, media agent cannot access the storage. (started on the 19th and occurs roughly at the same time each day) (Additionally this error first occurred when the cloud storage was associated with a different Media Agent. )The library has two mount paths, and the mount error mostly comes from the 2nd path. Although it once reported the other.Checked the jobs for the storage policy related to it, and it seems that nothing is missing.Have looked through the logs and other than the similar alert text, I don’t see what could be causing the alerts. There are multiple storage policies using the same Media Agent and the same S3 bucket. None of the others are having this prob
