How to limit a Role to only allow management of certain backup workloads

Hello,Just wondering if there was a specific way to control who (via a creation of a role potentially?) has access to administer and manage certain backup workloads from other backup workloads? Trying to work out how one would specifically segment this access and functionality. E.g. Database Admin only has access to be able to Managed backups and restore SQL Database backups.Kind thanksMark

Report of all restores for a particular SQL database

Hi, Can anyone please advise how I can find out when/where are database was restored to?  I’m talkign about SQL databases that might have restored in place, out of place or to a file. The DB I’m interested in will not have been restored to it’s original server but I need to know where else it may or may not have been restored.   I have access to the Java GUI and the browser interface.  I can see a report called “Restore job summary” but that is a summary, I need to be able to filter by (source) database. Thanks

Metallic and remote location

Hi Folks,We have a setup where our Commserve is at our corporate office on the west coast. We have a remote locations in the both the Midwest and east coast. Both the corporate office (CPO) and the remote locations have their own media agents.Today I noticed that as a remote location aux copy to Metallic was processing, that it was going to our corporate office media agent first (due to the mount path?). This aux copy (just over 500gb) took almost 17 hours.With the mount path being at CPO, does that mean the aux copy goes from the Midwest to CPO to Metallic? And if so, should I create another Metallic Storage pool for the Midwest and East coast, or should I make a Metallic storage pool for each location?Or does it really matter? Hopefully, this makes sense! Thanks for looking.

Teams Administrator account

Hi,Do I need a mail-enabled Teams Administrator account, temporarily without MFA, only for the configuration of the Office 365 Teams App in Command Center, or also later for backups or restores? I have a working Teams backup, but nowhere in Command Center I see a Teams Administrator account configured. The “Global Administrator” field in the Configuration tab is empty, and I am able to perform backups and restores.If I can just delete the Teams Administrator account after configuration, that's of course always safer. Thanks!

Help with Strange Gatway Behavior

Here is a problem we are having with media agents at one location.  We are seeing backups and restores with wildly different performance for any gateway installed on a Nutanix cluster.  An adjacent older VMware cluster has no problems.  The two clusters share the same 1G Internet pipe at a colo.  We have another Nutanix cluster at a different location that has pretty decent performance consistently.  We cannot find any one thing that might explain the behavior, and the poor and inconsistent performance makes managing the platform very difficult at that site.  We would like to understand why the gateway running on the older cluster (HPE servers and EMC storage) which runs on 1G interconnects, is orders of magnitude faster than some of the gateways running the new Nutanix cluster (HPE DX-380’s) with 10G interconnects.  Running ordinary uploads and downloads on any of the Nutanix-hosted gateways is fast, as expected.  So, it doesn’t seem to be Internet, or hardware related.  It smells as
