Automated Forest Recovery for Active Directory is Now Available!News

This offering builds on our existing AD protection capabilities, which include change detection and granular object-level restores, and brings a new level of resilience by enabling automated, rapid recovery of the Active Directory forest. AD Recovery is Foundational to Continuous BusinessMicrosoft Active Directory (AD) is the cornerstone of most enterprise IT networks, providing essential authentication and authorization for business-critical applications and resources. When AD is damaged or taken completely offline, the critical applications and services it supports become inaccessible. Consider the impact: Bank staff can't access customer accounts. Doctors and nurses can't access medical records. Coders and developers can't publish code. Teams can't collaborate or chat to get work done.Without AD, the business cannot continue.

FAQ: Log Backup with Caching in Commvault Cloud & SoftwareProduct Update

Overview In release 11.38 update pack 32, we are introducing a new feature for both Software and SaaS database customer environments: log backup with caching for SQL, Oracle, and SAP HANA databases. This allows you to perform log backups at more frequent intervals and leverage a caching mechanism to securely and efficiently transfer transaction logs from the database server to backup storage. The Log Backup with Caching feature enhances database protection by enabling high-frequency transaction log backups—even during control plane/CommServe computer downtime. Logs are first written to a secure cache before being backed up to storage, allowing for data consistency and the potential to improve RPOs. This change will be enabled for new backup plans automatically and does not require action. Existing backup plans for SaaS customers will be updated over the coming months. Read through our FAQ below for more details. Q: What is Log Backup with Caching?Log Backup with Caching allows transac

Commvault Feature Releases are now Commvault Platform ReleasesNews

Commvault Feature Release 11.28, currently in Tech Preview and set for General Availability in August 2022, will now be referred to as Commvault Platform Release 2022E. Like most software companies, Commvault regularly provides software updates in order to bring new features and functionality to our customers. We had originally referred to these as “Service Packs”, using a numbering scheme that identified both the software version and the update version. For example, software Version 11 (first offered in 2015), Service Pack 18. Because this is premises-based software – requiring the customer to download, update, and maintain it themselves – customers elect to update their software with varying frequency, depending on their business cycles and internal IT resources. To help this process, we would intermittently designate one as having Long-term Support (LTS). Long-term Support is a product lifecycle management policy in which a stable release of computer software is maintained for a lon
