We have a bunch of older VM backups, where we only have some full backups left, like yearly and monthly backups.We would like to create a script that shows us the available restore points to do some calculations on them. Can anyone help me to find the available restore points via the Rest-API ?Thanks in advance, Maurice

Hello team Referring to the previous thread, we're currently on version 11.32.63, and the “equivalent API” option isn’t available in the Command Center. Could you let us know which service pack includes this feature, or where we might be able to locate this option? Thank you!   

I deployed the workflow "RestoreRequestAuthorization" and configured it for some client groups and a user group to be the approvers. All worked good.Now I want to configure another workflow to be able to configure another user group to approve requests for another client group(s) as my customer has different teams for different backup agents.When I deployed the cloned workflow I received an error message saying “message already configured for business logic workflow”. I found the conflicting message and gave it another name and was able to deploy the cloned workflow successfully.When I configured the cloned workflow with other client groups it didn’t work and the restore jobs didn’t trigger any requests for approvals!Wondering if anyone went through similar issue before?Thanks in advance!

Hello All,I have migrated media agent to new media agent by using Replace MediaAgent App. Jobs completed succesfully and The new media agent is in Ready status and online. My question is how to move all DataInterfacePair (backup network) to new media agent. 

There is a test VM we created to test the script but it not being fetched while all the other VMs are being fetched the only difference is test VMs are not added in the domain   

Would you ask the Commvault if they can increase the number of characters allowed in Commvault VSA subclient description field to 10,000 

I am starting to approach the use of APIs in the Commvault environment.The goal is to extract a customized report created in the Command Center (Custom Report).I have created a script that performs the login in the Command Center, and it works correctly (Script name: Login.py).Next, I created a script that performs the login and then a GET request using the token received from the login (Script name: Get Report.py).The URL for the GET request was taken from the Command Center by selecting REST API from the report.I am attaching the listed scripts. The error I receive is as follows: /Get Report.py" Login successful! Authentication token: QSDK 393e4984a1a254f623019e8c20e221d0f3e04615ffde8c020f3aa3df4e67cf75efd3e01f34d86367be3e03948a9081e2177d34579743df1520bec81a0470b432be5345b3b75b548efbf61e02112b9026e4ee1db4b76c047e4844aca40ec0822e5d23124a0329d432af7ee137154079b4bf2b4815a1bc056fd73a9585a5dd2bd74f941c640faf0f99e38596fa6c25a4292bf03c2dedb6f135d56641413777c625c0682de01a558d7ce52886737e47cd

hi,i am trying to delete a storage policy copy.When I delete it starts a workflow but I don’t get emails and the job keeps failing.I was trying adding approvers on the workflow but can’t seem to get it working. below are the errors, any help would be great. ApproversCount></ApproversCount><restrictedWorkflow>true</restrictedWorkflow><requestXML><App_DeleteStoragePolicyCopyReq><processinginstructioninfo><user /><locale /><formatFlags /></processinginstructioninfo><commCell /><archiveGroupCopy /></App_DeleteStoragePolicyCopyReq></requestXML><RequestType>Delete StoragePolicy copy</RequestType><INP_OBJECT>XXYYZZ</INP_OBJECT><INP_REQUEST_XML_TAG>App_DeleteStoragePolicyCopyReq</INP_REQUEST_XML_TAG><INP_ERROR_CODE_TO_CHECK>string(/App_GenericArchiveGroupResp/error/errorCode)</INP_ERROR_CODE_TO_CHECK><INP_ERROR_STRING_TO_CHECK>string(/App_GenericArchiveGr

Hi, We have around 500 clients that backup a specific directory with a short retention. We now need a longer retention for a specific folder (10 years). As we can’t have different retentions for different folders in a plan, we need to create a second subclient on every existing clients and associate it with a long retention plan.I’m trying to figure out if there is a simple way to mass create those subclients at a client group level or if I need to script it with qcreate or Rest Api commands.

Just creating and testing The Virtual LabEverything works fine except deploying the OVA to have a proxy runningThe OVA is not deploying and when I make it an OVF the same problemSo the question is : I can see it is a CENTOS server, is there runinng the rdp gateway solution on itThen I can build my own proxy and have access to the restored server from an external network has anyone some details over this OVA template, about how to deploy it OR how this proxy is build, so I can build it my selfThanks and Regards Gerard

Hello.These are two technical questions, my colleague in charge of security is receiving a notification of a vulnerability in Apache, the following:CVE-2023-46604: Apache ActiveMQ OpenWire Transport Remote Code Execution VulnerabilityAnd he has the doubt if this also affects Python.And the second question is that we have three versions of python installed on the server where commvault is hosted: python 3.6; Python 3.9 and python 3.11.Are all three essential for commvault to work or can we uninstall two and keep only the one that the console is using?

Experts, when sometimes the customer rely on a customized third party orchestration platforms like SIEM and SOAR platforms that specialize in security incident response.not the standard SOAR platforms we integrated with.  Is there any guide for showing how our platform integrates with the customized SOAR or SIEM tools and provides the similar incident response and orchestration abilities? thanks in advance. 

I created a subclient in my file server and backed up a file (C:\test\test.txt). I then attempted to use API to download the backed up file but the server always returned 404. Anyone knows how to use the API?The request i made is like this:https://api.metallic.io/stream/action/download?appid=<subclientid>&path=C%3a%5ctest%5ctest.txt Thank you in advance.

Hi! I need help with the CLI command for CommVault status in Windows.I need to know which commserve the installation is pointing to.

I am using below api endpoint and updating the filters of the subclient:https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP32/api/cv/SubclientOperations/update-subclient-properties/       "vmFilter": {        "children": [          {            "allOrAnyChildren": true,            "description": "",            "displayName": "Ans_Jen_serv1",            "equalsOrNotEquals": true,            "name": "553b108a-dbc8-b7cv-e69n-e35622f6gh70",            "path": "Ans_Jen_Saurabh",            "type": 9          },          {            "allOrAnyChildren": true,            "description": "",            "displayName": "Ans_Jen_serv2",            "equalsOrNotEquals": true,            "name": "503df9ca-c7ca-e09b-333d-fc0787a5c9d0",            "path": "Ans_Jenkins_Vishak",            "type": 9          }        ]      }, I have updated the payload with the vmFilter children in which I have updated the content and remove Ans_Jen_Serv1. It did get updated successfully. Below is the updated payload when I printed:"{\"c

I need an API endpoint to remove backupsets, clients and vmdk from filters of the subclient.Commvault version 11.32.43 

I have pulled the retention details of the VM client via api. It is in unix epoch time so I had to convert it to human readable format. The datetime on commvault GUI and API is different.Below information is fetched via API:Unix epoch time: 1728697951Retained until: 2024-10-12 01:52:31Below is from the GUI  

We have a requirement from our data governance team to add the data classification into the actual details of the file once we have setup Classification Plans within Sensitive Data Governance, ideally the tag attribute within the file details. Does anyone know if this is possible and how you would do it?

Hi,Need for 1 day prevent synthetic full backups to startChanging it in all schedules seems a little bit not best practiceAny way to disable it globally and turn it back again?

Hi,We would like to hit max APIs on our S3 compatible object storage and we are wondering what all operations via Commvault we can perform to do so.For eg: Backup , restore does hit the s3 PUT and GETs respectively along with HEADs.We would like to perform some regression tests via Commvault.Any recommendations on how to approach this? If via some tool or some other actions? 

Hi,I want to deploy the end user laptop package to all the computers in the network without end user interaction. The documentation suggests method of using CommCell Console but I am on version 11.34 and commcell console doesnot work for this version. Is there a way to deploy it using command center

Hello,I am trying to remove a client from subclient (PowerShell), and it works in most of cases, however I came across with a strange case when automation just does not work, for no reason (the target client stays in the subclient)I tried to use both methods I know:Remove-CVVirtualMachine and qoperation executeboth with “error code: 0” on exit 😐Also, I would deeply appreciate if anyone share the info under witch module in “process manager > logging” commands execution log can be found

I was busy writing some code last week and while I was coding the authentication part I noticed the following. When you perform an authentication attempt against the API you will get output information back which contains information that can be used to perform a brute-force attack.Return information after an invalid authentication attempt:Now in case you use a valid username than you will see the Loginattempts incrementing:This means you found a valid account, so let's push forward until it the account is locked!So the API is also giving back the time you have to wait until you can try it again. Exposing this kind of information makes it easier for people with bad intentions to perform brute-force attacks. Sure companies nowadays should embrace/use MFA, but when you want to automate certain actions, for example through a CI/CD pipeline, than the MFA becomes a blocker so you'll have to diverge back. I think it's time to come-up with something better that can be used for automation task

So.. we have times when one of our customers would like to see a comprehensive display of what is being done and when on their servers, without the “lingo” thrown in.  Specifically, we’d love to see something like:ClientHostname Subclient What is backed up (in some form.. VM, FileSystem - what folders ) Where it’s backed up (from storage policy information) The schedule for when it’s backed up (from schedule policies) All backup jobs, including in the storage policy copies #1.1.1 will likely be a repeated column header with 1.1.2,3,4 repeated for each subclient.  Is there such a thing existing?  I’ve searched near and far but found nothing.  Also.. is there a data dictionary that can help with finding information with the datasets?  Or even reporting straight from SQL Server?  Finding the information in Management Studio seems tough.  I’ve actually copied it to SQL Server Express just to play with it w/o blowing up my whole installation. Thank you for any help!

My colleague is using Commvault API in python to automate restores We would like to know how can we use the API to switch off one backup policy and to enable new or another one? And how to run a full backup after switching over backup policy?Alternatively how in a given policy delete and add a new instance for backups?Unfortunately, the following documentation is not detailed enough to achieve that? https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP32/api/cv/ScheduleandSchedulePolicyOperations/add-agent-to-schedule-policy/Thank you,
