Hello All, My customer would like to know if there is a way to take a backup from the “Instant Clone” feature offered by Commvault . backup of a SQL clone ?https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/144795_instant_clones_for_sql_server.html Thank You.

Hello Everyone, I am looking for some advise based on your experience as there is no standard guidelines from Commvault. My customer has Large DB  between 2 TB-6 TB and is looking for a faster recovery time.We are considering to increase the backup streams , the question is how many streams should be added ? Is it based on the size AND if the DB has multiple files? 1 stream per data file ? Number of streams for DB with single fileAny best practices to fasten the recovery time is appreciated, thank you !!

We ran into issues with our vault tracker (VT) reports not being send following the upgrade to FR30. While running the schedule report the scheduledreport.exe crashed. Following conducted research and conversations with development it turns out to be the case that they assumed the stylesheet option wasn't being used by customers and they were already planning the phaseout of the underlying code path. There are no intentions to fix the current implementation but to look for the ability to address it via the report engine. So, beware you can run into issues and that there is no immediate solution. 

Hi guys,I’m wondering if there a way that I can divide and assign an amount of Endpoint users licenses to a particular tenant?Like, I have tow tenants configured (tenant1 and tenant2) and 50 endpoint licenses. From here I want to hardly assign 10 Endpoint license to tenant2, where admin of the tenent2 only can use a maximum of 10 Endpoint licenses. Any idea on haow I can acheive that?

Any Idea ..! 

Hello all,Would it be possible for Commvault to provide a script to enable CIS hardening for Windows 2019/2022?I see there is a virtual imagen of “CIS L1 Hardened Commserve 11.28 for WIndows 2019” at CommVault Store, but our customer is asking for a physical CommServe….I also see there are scripts for Windows 2016, but no scripts for windows 2019 or 2022.Please advise. Thanks in advance!Sergio

Hi, could you help me please?I'm installing Commvault version 11.30 on Linux RedHat 8.2. The installation was successful, but when I log in, I get the following error message below. Error [0x80070306:{CCvNetwork::SendXDRMessageInternal(5343)} + {CCvNetwork::SendXDRMessagePrivate(5098)/W32.774.(One or more errors occurred while processing the request.

With all of the cool features coming in our Feature Releases, I thought it would be handy to create a list of Best Practices for planning and Performing a Commserve update to a higher Feature Release.There’s definitely a lot of Proactive work that can go into your process that will save you from potential headaches or even nightmare scenarios!Check out the Planning documentation first Plan the Timing out in advance - Make sure any key stakeholders know the CS will be down during this planned upgrade Do you use any type of Commserve Failover?  If so, note the instructions for those differ accordingly. Upgrading Hardware as well?  Review the documentation on Hardware Refreshes. Suspending jobs - Ideally, have no jobs running; though some jobs can be suspended and resumed after others cannot be suspended and must be killed. Check and Double check that you have the Media Downloaded or if you are using the Commserve Software Cache, that it is updated with your required Maintenance Release.

Our linux file server is a large VMware VM - 48GB RAM, 8 virtual CPUs that are running on a Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6248R CPU @ 3.00GHz - and it has about 500TB of storage on it, that our linux admin has set up as 12x 60TB (max size) volumes on our SAN, that communicate back to VMware over iSCSI.We get reasonable performance with our linux users using this linux VM for day to day usage, but certain customers and projects are reaching crazy levels of unstructured file storage. We have one customer that has a folder that consumes 16TB of data, across 41 million files. And while that’s our worst offender, the top 5 projects are all pretty similar.We’ve been using the Linux File Agent installed into this VM since starting to use Commvault in 2018. We typically see about 3 hours for an incremental backup to run across this file server, with the majority of time just scanning across the entire volume, and the backup phase running relatively quickly. We run 3x incremental backups per day, at 6a

Dear team,👋😁I am seeking your valuable assistance to address technical issues that I am experiencing with the Commvault agent (11.28.52), which is installed on a machine with a MediaAgent role and Oracle database agent and file system agent (as shown in the attached image). The machine in question is of considerable size, in terms of terabytes, and encounters various issues which I would like to describe: The MediaAgent role was installed to send all information through SAN. However, it appears that this MediaAgent role has led to several client restarts. When attempting to stop jobs locally, Commvault processes remain running on the server, causing slow performance and interrupting the proper functioning of the databases. Even without any active jobs running on the client, Commvault processes continue to run every hour. The HP-UX 11.31 Itanium operating system server VPAR is hosted on a Superdome platform and has an Oracle database of 35TB. Its function is limited to acting as

Commvault changed the default GCP snapshot method from multi-regional to regional in version 2023 (11.30.0) and now gives you the option to choose regional or multi-regional snapshots for your data to help with cost savings and better flexibility of your backups.  Google Cloud Platform has recently published new pricing for their standard snapshots.  This price increase went into effect on April 1st, 2023.  Regional snapshot storage pricing increased from $0.026 GB per month to $0.050 GB per month (us-central1 zone baseline), a 63.1% increase, while multi-regional snapshot storage pricing increased from $0.026 GB per month to $0.065 GB per month (United States multi-region baseline), an 85.7% increase.  See Google pricing announcement for more information: https://cloud.google.com/compute/pricing-announce.Before Commvault version 2023 (11.30), multi-regional snapshots were used in Google Cloud Platform as the default snapshot type to utilize redundancy across regions.  Because of this
