Getting Started

Hi,I see in the documentation that Azure SQL, Azure PostgreSQL and Azure MySQL do not support incremental/differential backups.My question is, will incremental/differential backups be supported in future releases?I see other services like Azure CosmosDB does support incremental backups, so I wonder if it’s just a matter of time for the others to support the same… Another question would be, how is point in time recovery achieved for these PaaS DBs? I could only find information about log backup for Azure SQL… how would PostgreSQL and MySQL achieve point in time restore? are logs backed up for these too? Thanks!Sergio

OK,  have CommVault running on a windows server,  And would like to back up a ESXI server and associated SANS.  Any suggestions on how to go about doing this.

Hi All,- disk library DL1 with mount path X:\DL1- mount path X:\DL1 Capacity 100TB with Allocation Policy - Space Allocation "Do not consume more than 50TB" Q1. refer above, may we know Space Management - Space Thresholds refer which value for calculate %? 100TB or 50TB Q2. if Space Management - Start aging when data occupied on disk is 80%, will aging never start if refer value 100TB? Best regards

We have a number of Windows 2012 VMs running on ESX.    We are standing up new Windows 2022 server VMs to house the data on these VMs.   The goal is to swing Datastores from the old VMs to the new VMs.   Except for the OS, the VMs will be setup identically. Now, the Commvault backups for this data has been on unlimited hold since the dawn of time.   The servers themselves hold a grand total of about 100TB of files.    One AUX copy of the backup data is about 1PB in size.    I don’t want to add any more to this unlimited hold data copy.     If I keep the Commvault node name the same, can I avoid another full backup event for this data?   Or will the unique system identifier foil my plan?    I want it to back each server up incrementally on the first pass. (backing up only changed/new files).    Whaddaya think? Thanks!

Hello Commvault Community, A few days ago I configured some Auxiliary copy job from local MA to Cloud Library in Azure. I have noticed that some of the job use only one steam for the copy data. I am looking for reason why that behavior it takes place. The configuration is very simple:Media Agent with local copy → second copy in storage account Azure but connected to the same MA. I have the same configuration, but in different storage policy and in there the Copy is ongoing on tens of streams not only 1. Please help me to find out the reason of that property. Regards, Michal

Hi I am trying to download trial software for Vmware backup but this looks like rocket science I am suspecting that this may be some kind of secret company so I told my boss that we shouldnt touch this and continue with veeam Can somebody confirm that this is maybe company that deals only with government because for any solutions I was able to download trial software but this looks like it is imposible

Hello,I try to migrate from Storage Policies and Schedule Policies to PlansIf I use CommandCenter to create Plans as substitue of exsting Storage Policies, I can decide whether to keep the first or the last backup for extended retention.But I’m missing the definition for the Start of Period (like 3rd day of month or monady in case of a week).The Plan automatic is set to 1st day of month and friday for weekly period.has the start of period option been removed from future configuration options ?If I start with 11.34 today, I would not be able to modify this or even see the current settingsrgdsKlaus

Hi,I’m currently migrating from StoragePolicies and SchedulePolicies to Plans, as required for new installation beginning with Commvault 2024 (11.34).In the past I requested the backup copy to be started within the same schedule as the backup.if many subclients / VM Groups are triggered at the same time, the backupcopy is started immediatly or queued until free streams are available.If I use the standard asynchronous method, the backup copies are processed per Storage Policy, Jobs to copy are determined at start time of the backup copyjob and do not automatically add new backups, that are finished during time of execution to the backup copy job list. This results in a higher time needed to complete backup + backup copy operations.I cannot find this option in the plans, I created.I’m also missing the option to throttle the amount of paralell backup operations for a client, which I used to simplify the scheduling without overloading the client.Is there an equivalent option available in t

Is there a setting that only certain IPs can access when connecting to Commvault Command Center?

Hello!  I find myself once more confused about the partner types and partner badges for Commvault, as used in https://www.commvault.com/partners/find The badges for individuals are listed in https://www.credly.com/organizations/commvault/badges, but not those for companies.  I see there Aggregator, Distributor, Managed Service Provider, and Solution provider as types of partners, and I can’t tell which does which.And the badges don’t seem very self-explanatory to me either. Service Advantage and Service Advantage Plus probably mean second level support, as contrasted to CASP? What does the “plus” mean though?And CASP seems to be first level support? And then it’s sorted again in four tiers? What do these four tiers mean though…?  

I have a s3 compatible storage , will i able to add it as a backup repository in my commvault web console? And i have seen One thing called media Agent i needed , what is this?

HiNormally we use the Commvault Comcell to initiate and schedule our backups.  We are trying to run this from the rman command line on the server but when using the script below, it writes the backups to local disk not tape.   The reason we want to run from the command line is to enable detailed tracing as Oracle Support have requested this for a backup issue we currently have.run {allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape' connect sys/passt@CNTEST PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/home/commvault/Base/libobk.so,BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(CvClientName=Instance001)";allocate channel ch2 type 'sbt_tape' connect sys/pass##T3st@CNTEST PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/home/commvault/Base/libobk.so,BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(CvClientName=Instance001)"; --send "--cv-host <Backup host hostname> --cv-clientname <Pseudo client name>";send "BACKUP -jm 32813 -a 2:7814 -cl 3017 -ins 840 -at 80 -j 6054893 -jt 6054893:4:1:0:0:15469 -bal 0 -t 1 -ms 1 -data -useCvNwSrv -mhn server1-bup.iperm.ie*server1*8400*8402";setlimit channel ch1

when i try to backup ActiveIQ mysql DB with the Mysql agent it seems like everything works.When i try to restore the MySQL server the job fails with "cannot start restore program on host (xxx.xxx.xxx.xx 8400*8402) - network error occurred or the products services are not running".The MySQL services are running and there is no firewall between the commserve and the mysql server. 

Hello everyone,I'm reaching out to the Commvault community with a request for guidance as I embark on a new challenge. I've been in IT since the early 90s with a focus on SAN, NAS and Object storage, but I'm relatively new to Commvault administration and engineering.I've recently joined a team tasked with migrating our backup environment to new hardware, including Nutanix. While I'm eager to learn, the lack of existing architecture planning and the potential for misconfiguration have me concerned (most of the CV people we have are admin not engineers). My goal is to design a solution that optimizes our resources and avoids leaving performance on the table.Here's a brief overview of our situation:Current: Mostly SAN/DAS targets, primarily backing up VMs. Future: Incorporating Nutanix which I understand may introduce new considerations.  We also have new DAS hardware which, if I understand, means that there are features that Commvault will have to supply (vs a dedicated storage array tha

Hi All,In our infra the CS and clients are behind firewalls and new client install from CS is blocked. So we are creating custom packages and upload it in the download center.For windows machines, no problem we can access to the web and download the package.But the linux machine where we have only CLI, is there any magic commands to download the package from the download center directly? Thank you in advance.
