We have encountered an unexpected change in the target media name for SQL server backups on our Commvault Metallic environment. The media name has been changed from "CommVault Galaxy Backup" to "commvault.backup". This change has disrupted our existing backup status scripts, which were designed based on the original media name. Appreciate if anyone provide more information on this?Â

As per the review by the Development, the change to the backup name was intentional for the automation cases. The description has been modified to facilitate the automation scripts and to maintain uniformity. In case of SQL scripts being used, can you please include an additional AND clause with the new name ‘commvault.backup’?Â
For Example, select * from msdb..backupset where name like '%Commvault Galaxy Backup%' OR name like '%commvault.backup.%'
