Hello,I have Commvault backup server on simpana version 11.28.68. Also I have Tape library HPE MSL3040 with two Drives..The backup is placed on the tape library. I have a problem two days ago with one tape which was stuck in one drive. I read instruction for Tape library where I immediately had to remove the tape from the Tape library that caused the problem. That tape was in Assigned media. I didn't declare it full, nor did I move it to another scrath pool, I just took it out.Now I have situation that in Assigned media there is display as if the tape exists. but there is label “Not available”. Now, I declared tape bed but still exists in Assigned Media.How can I completely remove the tape from Assigned media?Thank you!Best regards,Elizabeta

Dealing with nightly high cpu issue….hit plateaus at 100% for several hours. Task manager shows Media Manager process hogging the cpu. This only happens during backup windows and not during the day. Dev support is saying it’s looking like we just have too much happening. It’s 200 VM backup jobs and they’re staggered. Issue only happens when the Incr VM backups run. Does not happen when corresponding Syn full run.I’ve tried staggering the jobs as much as I can but it only delays the inevitable. Suggestions?

.NET Core 6.0.goes end of support November 12, 2024. When can we expect an update for this please?

The scenario I have here is that we want to back up only a specific directory within a virtual machine. For example, let's say we need to back up the /opt/backups/ directory while excluding all other files and folders. The goal is to ensure that only the contents of this directory are preserved and maintained as backups, without including unnecessary data from the rest of the system.  is there any way to do this ?

Hello;We are getting a new media agent, along with a new storage library, and I want to replace the old media agent and storage library. Once I have the new stuff setup I am debating how to replace the old media agent Under every storage policy and plan, create a new copy that writes to the library.  Copy all jobs to that new copy, then retire the old media agent Move the DDB and move the old library mount paths to the new storage library. (https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/moving_mount_path_to_new_location.html) Just wondering if anyone else has replaced the media agent.  Which method did you go with?

Hello, We have a spare netapp that we want to use as a commvault destination for backup.We have try to use only the netapp deduplication/compression writing directly to the library but the result is only 1% saving, the backup are not encrypted so I was expecting something better. Anyone else has some experience trying to use it. Does commvault store the backup in disk library in a block format that is not compressable even if we are not using the commvault deduplication.  ThanksLuc

Hi!  I’d like to control or set  number of streams for data backup for all subclients and instances in given agent type globally. So for example all postgres subclients are protected using 4 data streams.  Is there a default value that can set during subclient configuration?How to set specific value for currently configured subclients to given value? (other then looping through all clients, all agents, all instances, all backupsets via API). 

Hi Good Day,We have recently upgraded CommVault server to latest version 11.36.35 which use the Dotnet framework version 8.0.11. This was to fix the Dotnet version 6.0.16 vulnerability issue.Even after the upgrade the security scan detect 6.0.16 package on the CommVault server. When I check the add/remove program it shows both 6.0.16 and 8.0.11 packages. Not sure why, as it supposed to be maintained the version 8.0.11.Appreciate your help on this matter. How to fix it.
