Hello, 

Today we would like to order some external device from Azure to copy the data between Azure and local site. 

Azure provide two options: 

-Azure Data Box Disk

-Azure Data Box. 

According to documentation Commvault support the second option, link to documentation: 

https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/97276_migrating_data_to_microsoft_azure_using_azure_data_box.html

but how does it look for the first option. We have network connection built on 1 Gb/s which should be so slow to send 30 TB of data. So maybe better option is Azure Data Box disk which can be connected by USB slot. 

Regards, 

Michal

Hi @Michal128 

Thank you for reaching out.

I do believe both would be supported as both would be seen as a disk library in Commvault.
I will get this verified and update the document accordingly.

Hello Community, 

I checked the possibility for both solutions. In my option Storage Data Box Disk is completely unuseful. Few thinks: 

  1. Storage is divided on 5 separated disks. 
  2. Payment started from beginning when  usage that solution lunched. 
  3. Supported OS which can use that solution is only until Windows Server 2016.

So from my used study please use only Azure data box, or Azure Data Box Heavy. 

Regards, 

Michal
