Good day community,

I have a customer that is considering migrating file servers from Commvault to Metallic. However, those server have archived files. Is there a way to migrate without doing a massive recall / restubbing?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Carl,

 

Unfortunately there is not. In order for us to capture the file on Metallic leveraging the File Server package, the file would have to be present on share. If the files are not recalled, we’ll only capture the stub and if the file ever needs to be restored, it wouldn’t have the reference point to pull the necessary data back.

This is due to the fact the archive files are unique to the chunk that they were backed up in, and can only be opened within the Commcell that archived them.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

That makes total sense Michael,

I’ll keep that in mind.

Many thanks for the response.
