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

I am getting ready to deploy Metallic to my Azure tenant and was looking for documentation to determine if an agent needs to be installed on VM and if so, would I need to use the file server option?

Question: I'm trying to add Salesforce to Commvault version 11.40.14.Currently, I'm facing an issue where I don't know what to enter in the "Database Host" field.Given that everything in Salesforce, including the database, is SaaS-based, there’s no specific IP address or hostname to provide.  

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. If feasible, kindly share an implementation plan and a proposed change window.  Regards,Mani D    

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 this refer to?   Does it pertain to Exchange or OneDrive? Thank you in advance for any clarification you can

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!

Gmail thinks Commvault is trying to spoof my email address and is consistently marking them as spam.I’ve repeatedly unmarked it and created filters to keep it out of the spam folder without success. I haven’t tried the nuclear option, using a filter to mark it as “Not Spam”, but in my experience, doing that causes a lot of other issues, and real spam bypasses the filters. Thoughts? I’ve copied the header address, which repeatedly shows Commvault.com as a permitted sender, and right after that, DMARC fails. RogerB <NotMyEmail@gmail.com> via commvault.comto: NotMyEmail@gmail.comdate: May 8, 2025, 3:30 AMsubject: Backup job summary - Backup job summary - Reportmailed-by: commvault.comsigned-by: commvault.com ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com;       dkim=pass header.i=@commvault.com header.s=smtp-eastus-01 header.b=a8F89wsC;       spf=pass (google.com: domain of admin-saas@commvault.com designates 135.237.4.36 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=admin-saas@commvault.com;
