How do I see all the GUI changes and also share information with other site admin.

CV11FR20 SCOM Alerting issue

Hi guys, quick question: A few months ago I updated a customer environment to FR20. Recently we found that SCOM Alerting did not work anymore. After investigating we found that the GalaxySCOM.csv file contents looked complete different than it did before. After deleting that file, it got recreated and contents looked OK again. And SCOM Alerting was working again. Is this a known issue?

Command Center - Hidden client computers -> CTRL-F5 to the rescue

Ever since Command Center was equipped with client side caching enhancements we occasionally get customers on the phone who ask us if there is something wrong with the backup environment, because they are missing client computers in Command Center. Even while running the latest maintenance release for FR11.21. When we logon to Command Center as platform admins we do see the client computer(s) in question, so we just ask the customer to perform a CTRL-F5 hard refresh of the client-side cache. Checking the server side log (CVEntityCache) reveals no errors whatsoever.Now I hope to hear from other Vaulters if they have experienced this same issue and at what frequency. Reason for asking is that it "hard/impossible” to reproduce and if the customers knows the CTRL-F5 trick than next time they will most likely not call you anymore because they know the trick, but this of course does not fix the real issue.

MS SQL Integrity check

We do Intellisnap backups of some of our SQL databases. Once a week we do a integrity check on a snapshot also and it works fine.My question is what SQL versions can we use as proxies, does it have to be the exactly same SQL version or can it be a later version of SQL? I’ve not found that documented.BRHenke

Restore validation/data refresh through Command Center

We have an active program to discourage the use of the CommCell console. Reason is that it is not supported in combination with SAML and reseller mode and additionally we want to move everyone over to Command Center. This is a big change and people are pretty bad accepting change so it is not always easy and they use a lot of features…… I will not move towards a discussion around feature adoption in Command Center because I do not want a like-4-like move from the CommCell console to the Command Center but I do miss something related to the ability to perform data refreshes and/or scheduled restores to validate the ability to recover data.Customers need to proof that they are able to recover data for auditing purposes. Additionally they also use backup/restore to perform data refreshes for testing purposes and I currently have no idea how to accomplish this without the CommCell console. Only way I would know is to script it through the API but to me these use-cases are fundamentally rel

Subclient configuration

I have changed the content of one subclient (new data paths). I used till now the sequence Synthetic Full & Incremental Backups. Do I need to perform the Full Backup (in order to cover the changes) before I switch again to the original sequence Synthetic Full & Incremental? I’m pleased about every tip! :-)

MS365 - Sharepoint Backup

Hi Community, This is my first post on the community. We are looking to backup SharePoint Online through Commvault, but I’m unsure how to go about this? Is it done through the Commcell itself or can it be done through the Web Console. I don’t see Solutions\Applications\Office365 to do it this way. if anyone has a step-by-step guide it would be greatly appreciated. Kind regardsTony

O365 Groups Backup with no Owner

We backup all of our O365 group mailboxes with the exchange mailbox agent and the dynamic content „All O365 group mailboxes“.We configured modern authentication. If a backup is running, then commvault will add the service account as a member to every O365 group without an owner or only disabled owners. This does not happen for groups with a valid owner. Can anyone explain, why this happens? In the job log I found only „GetO365GroupOwnerAny - Found 0 owners for groups“.

Command Center FREL selection

Is it possible to override default vCenter FREL for guest file restore in Command Center? It seems to be Commcell Console-only option.Also, it would be great if we could add FREL to a VM Group (same as we can add Access Nodes).Using single/default FREL in multiple-cluster vCenter can be technically impossible. SW: 11.22.9Thanks!

Retention & Data aging

Short version of the question: Does modifying a file in Commvault reset the 1-year retention?In our environment I have daily incremental that roll into a weekly synth full that roll into a monthly synth full. That monthly is kept for 1 year so at any given point I have 12 months of Monthly synth full jobs.Our retention is set to 1 year. “For 365 days Keep Monthly Full”So I create a file on 01/01/21 and the daily incremental job runs 01/02/21 and backs the file up.It then should be part of the weekly synth job and then part of the monthly synth full job for January, correct?That file then would be available (unless modified) until January 2022 when the next monthly synth full runs, Correct?The question that was asked is unless a file is modified will it expire after 1-year?If the file is modified on 9/1/21 then it would go through the daily incremental > weekly synth full > monthly synth full and retained until the 9/1/22 job ranI guess the short question is after 1-year any none
