Hi all, a new Commvault user here.

We are trying to perform a restore from a tape. However, the "Mark for Catalog" option is missing in the Command Center. It's a feature in the CommCell Console, which we don't have access to.

This is a standard feature that we need in our backup policy. What is the best way to restore VMs directly from tape (without the database or sync) ?

Hey ​@DTO 

The best way is to have the job history in the database; What is the scenario where you are trying to restore without the CommServe database?

You could set up a replica CommServe on a DR site using CommServe Live Sync - not sure if that would work in your scenario.

Otherwise, through support you can request access to the CommCell console to perform a catalog and merge option.
