Hi @Atul 

Yes this is possible:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/3425_continuousdatareplicator_system_requirements_03.html

There are some side notes:

Quote documentation:

"Important

  • If you have SELinux enabled on the client computer, create the SELinux policy module as a root user before performing a backup. The SELinux Development package must be installed on the client.

  • The source volume for a replication pair must be a local volume.

  • A compiled version of the CDR driver is supplied only for the versions and kernels in the following table. If you perform online updates of Linux, the supplied CDR driver might not load after a reboot because the kernel is updated to a new version. If you are installing the software on a computer that rybs Red Hat Linux 5 or a more recent version, then the file system on the computer must be compiled as a kernel module. For example, computers that run Red Hat Linux 5 with the ext2 file system do not support the ContinuousDataReplicator software, because the ext2 file system is built into the kernel. Conversely, computers that run Red Hat Linux 5 with the ext3 file system compiled as a kernel module do support the ContinuousDataReplicator software.

  • 3 GB minimum of additional hard disk space on the source computer for replication log file growth. More is recommended. The maximum allowed is 80% of the total space on the file system"

Please verify your OS version at the link provided to see if it is supported by the CDR driver.

What is the use case? there may be better options than CDR (or maybe not) - but would be curious on what you are trying to achieve.
