It could be nice, when I choose a Restore point to view a summarize of the Exchange On Line mailbox content (size, item count, and so on). It helps to understand, for example, if a user deleted a lot of email from one restore point to another.It could also help a browsing feature (day by day should help) into Backup Stats for having a quick sight between days. Thank you

Dear Team, Our VMware backups for AWS VMs are running successfully in Metallic, with an AWS S3 bucket as the primary (disk library) and a secondary copy to Metallic Cold Storage—no issues observed.We now have similar VMs in Azure and would like to configure backups in Metallic as follows: Primary copy: AWS S3 bucket (disk library) Secondary copy: Metallic Cold Storage Licensing: We have sufficient Metallic licenses for these VMs. Questions / Request Can we use the existing S3 bucket as the primary copy for the Azure VMs as well? If this isn’t recommended, please advise the best practice (e.g., dedicated bucket, separate prefixes, or segregated retention/encryption). Please confirm prerequisites and constraints—cross-cloud connectivity (Azure → AWS), firewall rules, IAM/KMS requirements, bandwidth/egress considerations, and any incremental cost impacts.

We are currently using Metallic for Microsoft 365 applications Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.  This was setup by a previous employee, and I am having trouble understanding how it all works.    For Exchange Online and OneDrive for Business, I would like to setup Plans to coordinate with our retention policies.   For example:Standard employees – Retain mailbox and OneDrive data for 2 years after termination.  I created a m365_2yr plan. Can someone please clarify what each of these Retention settings are?Retain deleted items for 730 days – If a user permanently deletes an email or a document from OneDrive, will it purge the deleted items after 730 days even if the user is still active?   Then once a user has been terminated or removed from backups will it retain the data for 2 years after that date?  Retain backed up version for 365 days – what does th

Hello,I have a couple of questions regarding Commvault Cloud’s API.  I have learned through this forum that to authenticate successfully with Commvault Cloud (CC) API, that I have to give the Base-64 encoded password and add the MFA Pin number.  Which works great with local accounts.  However, with our accounts that are authenticated through Okta (SAML), how is that done? I am trying to add a Tag to a long list of VMs, and the API mentions an EntityID.  When I use the API call to "https://api.metallic.io/V4/VirtualMachines" it gives me a lot of great info but no EntityID.  I tried calling "https://api.metallic.io/V4/VirtualMachines/$vmUUID" to see if that would give an EntityID, but I don’t see an EntityID in the results.  Where can I locate the EntityID?   Thank you!
