Hi All,- primary backup many VMs to primary site local disk library with synthetic Full and daily Inc policy schedule 7PM- second backup synchronous copy synthetic Full and Inc from primary backup to DR site local disk library - tape backup synchronous copy Inc from source second backup - tape backup selective copy weekly full from source second backup Refer aux copy schedule. By default, the Continuous option is selected and auxiliary copy operations run at 30 minutes interval. that these operations will be performed only when new data that needs to be copied is found on the primary copy (or source copy).Q1. if primary backup start 7PM and finished 9PM, when will second backup start? is 30 mins after primary finished or when primary backup progress 30 mins (because new data that needs to be copied is found on the primary)?Q2, refer Q1, when will tape backup execute? is 30 mins after second backup finished or when second backup

Hi,I see in the documentation that Azure SQL, Azure PostgreSQL and Azure MySQL do not support incremental/differential backups.My question is, will incremental/differential backups be supported in future releases?I see other services like Azure CosmosDB does support incremental backups, so I wonder if it’s just a matter of time for the others to support the same… Another question would be, how is point in time recovery achieved for these PaaS DBs? I could only find information about log backup for Azure SQL… how would PostgreSQL and MySQL achieve point in time restore? are logs backed up for these too? Thanks!Sergio

Hello,I want to setup secondary copy to cloud.Primary copy is using local disk library and DDB with single partition with path X:\DDBWhen I will create storage pool for cloud storage, should I create (or not) separate folder on disk X:\ for new pool DDB partition? For example X:\CloudDDBThere is recommendation from documentation that sounds strange for me: “When you create more than one storage pool using the same MediaAgent and DDB disk, make sure to specify the same DDB path. Do not create separate subfolders on the DDB disk for each storage pool.”https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/12411_deduplication_building_block_guide.htmlMaybe there is mistake? Two different DDBs pointing to same disk path?Thanks.

Hello, we are planning to install an Azure Stack HCI 23H2 cluster.Does CV (11.28) currently support this version for Backup and Recovery? I find in the documentation “Azure Stack HCI version 20H2 and more recent versions”.Thanks in advance.Jörg

hi guys, i just replaced old MA server to new MA server - the library and access node of cloud apps. when i start backup job for teams, about 5 teams are sucessfull and about 1500 teams failing due to  Failed to restore latest metadata files. Manual intervention required due to old or missing files. so i on the access node add “nSkipTeamsMetaDataCheck” - still same backup failing. on the commserve node i add “bShowTeamsConvertJobToFull” run teams backup job and issue persist.  there is a CVTeamsBackupLog:  32944 4468  08/14 20:44:02 13920 Downloading metadata files from JobID=11955 for IndexingGUID [D90396AFX4D8CX40EAXBBE3X1E0DEB468560]32944 4468  08/14 20:44:02 11955 CvRemoteFileCacheClient::DownloadFiles Caught error for file [D90396AFX4D8CX40EAXBBE3X1E0DEB468560.zip]: [0xECCC0016:{CvRemoteFileCacheClient::DownloadFiles(1008)} + {CvRemoteFileCacheClient::DownloadFileFromServer(896)/ErrNo.22.(I

VMWare Image of Commvault Software with 11.36I have downloaded and imported to the VMware ESXi ，Could you tell me the username & password for this VM? Regards,Li

We just received an alert that the sku for autoscaling is being deprecated. Is there a new one we can use, and I assume an additional setting to define the new sku. I will attempt to use the windows sku, but I fear it may be next in line for deprecation. One or more image versions within the plan commvaultlinuxfr32 from the publisher, commvault, have been scheduled for deprecation. As of August 16, 2024, you have workloads that are running on these images. These workloads will continue to run and will not be impacted. However, additional instances cannot be deployed after the deprecation date.

Hi Everyone, We've got a customer intended to provide BaaS to its customers through Commvault. His main concerns are related to security. As his has customer which have their data located on-prem and which should be protected in the new BaaS. The concern is how the network design should be in order to transmit the data from the end customer DC to the new BaaS platform without exposing all the CommCell nodes to the internet. We heard of Network Gateways, but actually we do not have any clue how this can be done. If Network Gateways is actually the solution in order to only expose other nodes (CS and MAs), does that mean even the Management Plane (Access of the Tenant to the CommandCenter for Backup Management) is transmitted over the NetGw ? Any details regarding this would be nice, thanks in advance. Regards.

We want to have Azure Blob containers Immutable feature turned ON.Primary - Incremental - 30Days - AzureBlobContainer1Monthly Full backup Extended retention - 365Days - AzureBlobContainer1With Commvault Deduplication.Commvault DDB resides on the Media Agent.How so we handle DDB and the extended retention of INCR and Full on the Container1? Will the data on the container1 expire post INCR has reached its retention for 30Days? Currently we are not sealing our DDB. Do we need to seal the DDB when using Azure Immutable storage? Can we have one Azure Immutable blob and inside them have multiple folders with multiple retention? How does Commvault Retention linked with Azure blob Immutable - Access Policy - Retention Interval? What if Azure Retention Interval on AzureBlobcontainer1 is set for 30Days and My Commvault retention is for 365Days. what happens to the same data on 31st day?

Good Day Community,Few questions regarding Auto Recovery from VMware to Azure AVS (Azure VMware Solution).First, I do not see clearly on the documentation site if Auto-Recovery supports VMware to AVS replication (although it is VMware to Vmware (theoretically), I’d still like to validate if it is supported.Second, will the restore still be an incremental restore.Thisrd, if the customer decides to go with Auto-Recovery between VMware and standard Azure VMs instead of AVS, will the restore still be an incremental restore.Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

OK,  have CommVault running on a windows server,  And would like to back up a ESXI server and associated SANS.  Any suggestions on how to go about doing this.

I was busy writing some code last week and while I was coding the authentication part I noticed the following. When you perform an authentication attempt against the API you will get output information back which contains information that can be used to perform a brute-force attack.Return information after an invalid authentication attempt:Now in case you use a valid username than you will see the Loginattempts incrementing:This means you found a valid account, so let's push forward until it the account is locked!So the API is also giving

HiI am trying to install a couple of Linux clients as part of an Oracle RAC Cluster backup/restore test we are running. We haven’t used Oracle RAC before so all a bit new, but when i try and install the two clients we have the install fails with this error.RNG error number from CVwhen i check the SW Cache details cannot see that it is disabled or how it could enabled/disabled etc. i can see the SW cache in the CommCell browser and no where does it give me the option to enable or disable it?

Does Commvault provide a backup sizing tool (primary and secondary copies) which enables the calculation of the required storage capacity for the FET based on the required retention periods? 

Hi, Is it possible to set commvault to automatically retry the backup jobs for only failed vms or does this have to be done manually everytime?

Hi there,I backup a vm group on tape library for some technical reasons.For some backup jobs, data written on tape and Index information written on another tape.Can I include index information into backup data so I make sure that both be written on the same tape ?

HiWe have configured out DDB to spread across 4 Windows virtual machines. Out of 4 VMs we have lost access to 2 VMs. Backups are running as expected by using the remaining 2 VMs with DDB on that.Now we have freshly built new 2 VMs with Media Agent application components installed.My question is, how we can recover the DDB fragments which hosted on two lost VMs ? Is there a way to reconstruct the lost sections on to newly built 2 VMs ?We are on version 11.28.(2022 E).Appreciate your advise. Please feel free to ask any questions if you need further clarifications.Many thanks in advance.
