Hello everybody,AWS Backup is currently offering Full and Incremental level backups when it comes to protect RDS instances on AWS Cloud (Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithAutomatedBackups.html)Using Commvault v11.32, documentation states that Commvault can only perform Full level backup which involves huge cost when doing AWS Native Snapshot protection when it comes to protect RDS instances (Reference: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/backing_up_amazon_rds_instance_group.html)  Is there any way to perform Incremental snapshot of RDS instances in the future using Commvault on AWS ? FYI, I am already aware about the export and dump based backup for RDS instances but those are too inconvenient to restore (for export, it requires an EC2 instance with a configured database to receive the data; for dump based backup, we need a configured database engine on an Access Node or the Media Agent to receive the data, which is a nigh

We are experiencing a behavior only in some full jobs of a particular schedule, this happens in protected objects, the error messages are Remote I/O error, what we have detected is that the next incremental backup takes the objects that marked error in the full backup, we have moved the schedule backups but the failure continues, the backups are directed to disk libraries, has anyone had this behavior that can help us solve it.

We have a physical media agent server, that is very old and want to replace it with new physical server. So, we need to migrate / Hardware refresh the media agent server with same hostname and IP.What is the procedure and steps, we need to folow to perform this task smoothly.  

Hello All,I’m a newbie, starting with CommVault and see these “Event Codes” on a Data Aging Job every day.Event ID 97531656 Event Code 13:6 (Exiting with errors - some files may not have been pruned) Event ID 9753162  Event Code 13:48 (Data is partially pruned due to database problem)As stated, I’m a newbie at this and don’t know if there is something I can do about this or should do about this.Any insight would be great.TIA, AlanKeno

Hi  We tried to active windows 2019 of RO1200 with below doc(https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/what_s_in_box_01.html), we found found there was no Windows Server 2019 Standard Product Key sticker on the top of the server. Is there any way to find the Windows Server 2019 Standard Product Key for RO1200? Thank you in advance for your answer !

Hello, we recently ran through a Security Health Review, with a third-party, and it was advised that we turn on MFA for Commvault.  I worked with our Infosec team and got Okta setup on our Commvault Command Center.However, I was wondering how do I get the Commcell to automatically redirect to Okta when someone is logging into the Commcell, while inside the server, or using the Jar file?I know there is the ‘Login with Command Center’ link, however, I can put my username and password in, and I get in fine (without an Okta prompt).  Is there a way to force the ‘Login’ link?We are on version 11.32.63.Thanks!

Hello Commvault Community, I would like to ask you if you might know which setting or configuration is responsible for refreshing the information in the Index Servers properties in the “Health Check” column (from CommandCenter).  All IndexServers are working and there aren’t problems with them, it's just that it shows an outdated Health Check and the question came up as to why and what might be responsible for it, to take an analysis of why it hasn't been updated.  Enviroment version: 11.34.38 Thanks in advance,Kind RegardsKamil

we have a cluster with 4 postgres server.we tried to use the additional setting called bEnablePostgresClusterBackup but the jobs are failing with the next error:"Error Code: [94:13] Description: PostgreSQL Database: [Failed to initilize PostgresStandbyBackup-] Data Backup Failed."our sp is 11.32

hello, we have postgres cluster that fails with the next error:"PostgreSQL Database: [-postgres-] Data Backup Failed with PostgreSQL Error: [pg_dump: warning: tnere are circuar toreign-key constraints on this table: pg_dump: nodes pg_dump: You might not be able to restore the dump without using --disable-triggers or temporarily dropping the constraints. pg_dump: Consider using a full dump instead of a --data-only dump to avoid this problem."I thought commvault already uses full dump to backup.

Hi,We have a RHEV environment that resides in a DMZ network segment.VSA Proxy is deployed within this env.  Our Commserv and Media Agents can connect to the  RHEV manager and the proxy ( One-Way ).Should that be enough for taking baackups ? or should we create some network toplogy for the RHEV client and proxy ?  Thanks

I have a question about the wals backup. If the commvault backups the archive wals and deletes them ( i have the option enabled), what happens to the wal files?  Do they just pile up?

Hello.These are two technical questions, my colleague in charge of security is receiving a notification of a vulnerability in Apache, the following:CVE-2023-46604: Apache ActiveMQ OpenWire Transport Remote Code Execution VulnerabilityAnd he has the doubt if this also affects Python.And the second question is that we have three versions of python installed on the server where commvault is hosted: python 3.6; Python 3.9 and python 3.11.Are all three essential for commvault to work or can we uninstall two and keep only the one that the console is using?

We are backing up SQL database with TDE encryption. Could we restore the encrypted database to original server or different server without any encrypted key.

This is an informative post targeting customers, like MSPs, who use the Private Metrics Billing engine for chargeback or other use cases. Do note that ones you upgrade to CPR2024 that the billing engine stops showing information. For some reason, and without notification/communication, Commvault decided to redrawn the possibility to use the billing engine by customers. We have a ticket open for it already.  

Hello everyone, I notice that the Environment field is not being displayed in the Overview of my Dashboard.Any tips on what I can do to solve it?The server has already been rebooted but without success. 

Can we configure Hyper-V VM backups using scvmm instead of installing agent on Hyper-V node to take advantage of backups using VM tags.

If I understand correctly with a license of 20TB AirGap customer can send to Azure up to 20TB of local data. With AirGap the space occupied in Azure will be 2x or more (40+TB). There is no extra cost for the customer for this 2x+ capacity, it is included in the Commvault license they have correct?Thanks a lotPanos

Hi Does any one know how to create a a SAP HANA Pseudo-Client in the Commvault Command center?  I am using Commvault 11.34.36, and there it is not possible to use the Commvault Console even the manual are saying, that I shall use it. https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/expert/creating_sap_hana_pseudo_client.html

Experts, when sometimes the customer rely on a customized third party orchestration platforms like SIEM and SOAR platforms that specialize in security incident response.not the standard SOAR platforms we integrated with.  Is there any guide for showing how our platform integrates with the customized SOAR or SIEM tools and provides the similar incident response and orchestration abilities? thanks in advance. 

Hello,I would like to get a list of all failed jobs in the last 24 hours.I was able to get all the job ids from the last 24 hours but to find the failed ones I need to retrieve the data of each job and it is not efficient and might take a long time. Is it possible to do it more efficiently?

  I have been tasked with backing up our OS drive on our on premises Metallic Gateway. We need to include the servers Window’s System State as part of the backups. I have looked in our File Server list in metallic, and I do not see the gateway listed. I know the server has the File System agent already installed on it from when Metallic was originally installed. Is It considered a best practice to back up the gateway’s OS drive. I should note the the gateway is also a cache server for local backups, and we do not want to backup the deduped data volumes. If backing up the OS drive of the Metallic Gateway is not recommended,  what is the general process for rebuilding the OS drive on that server?  

I created a subclient in my file server and backed up a file (C:\test\test.txt). I then attempted to use API to download the backed up file but the server always returned 404. Anyone knows how to use the API?The request i made is like this:https://api.metallic.io/stream/action/download?appid=<subclientid>&path=C%3a%5ctest%5ctest.txt Thank you in advance.

I have been asked several times, ‘why is the file system on my Linux VM client filling up with logs attributable to Commvault?’ and I am mystified because the VM has never had an agent installed.Has anyone got any suggestions a) why there are log files b) how I can limit them to n days, when the retention is only 31 days anyway?Thanks
