Incorrect credential api response

It seems that the api to GET the credential returns endpoint with a different key as compare to what is expected by PUT api for updating the credential . API : /commandcenter/api/v5/credential/:credentialid Even from the document the key name is different from what is returned. As you can see from actual output , we get extra “Endpoint” in the key name. This results the automation of GET and PUT request , to remove the endpoint completely . I agree that we can modify it in the automation before hitting PUT , but I still feel this is a BUG. Any one faces / observed this issue ?

Commvault Cloud update: Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) for Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS Databases

Commvault Cloud supports the protection of Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS instances in single and multi-AZ configurations using native RDS automated backups, allowing for point-in-time recovery (PITR). To enable the PITR for Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS, additional permissions for RDS APIs are required to be added to a policy in the user account. These permissions allow for enabling the RDS automated snapshots with appropriate retention, thereby protecting the database transactional log files. What steps should be taken to enable the PITR for the Amazon RDS database? The following steps should be followed in the AWS Console: Sign into the AWS Management Console and Open the IAM (Identity and Access Management) console of the appropriate AWS user account at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/ . In the navigation pane, choose Policies. Search for the policy named either MetallicRole-RDSPolicy or MetallicTenantRole-RDSPolicy. Choose the Permissions tab and click on Edit to add the set of pe

Setting Retentions on Metallic Office 365 Data

We started using Metallic O365 backups back when it was Infinite Retention. We have reached 70% of our Quota in just a little over two years and would like to investigate why. We manage Storage in our On-Prem Commvault by setting the retentions below. I do not find these granular settings in the Cloud Portal. Can I set these specific retentions within the Metallic Office 365 Backup Environment? I want to start with our standard retention limit, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly. Daily - 7 Copies Weely - 5 Copies (Each Saturday) Monthly - 12 Copies (Last backup of each day of Month) Yearly 5 Copies - (Last backup of each year)

Clarification on Backup Consistency and Best Practices for SQL VM Upgrades

Hello Metallic Community, I am seeking guidance on two specific queries related to our Azure VMs, particularly SQL Servers, which are being backed up using Metallic. Backup Consistency for Azure VMs: Can someone clarify whether backups taken through Metallic for Azure VMs are application-consistent (e.g., using VSS for Windows) or crash-consistent?If there are any settings or configurations that need to be enabled to ensure application-consistent backups, kindly share the details.Best Practices for SQL Server Upgrades: We are planning an upgrade for our SQL VMs hosted on Azure. What are the recommended steps to ensure data protection and smooth rollback in case of any issues?Should we rely on existing Metallic backups, capture a manual snapshot, or consider creating a clone of the SQL VMs as a precautionary measure?I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences from the community regarding these points. Your recommendations will help us implement the best possible backup and re

Mailbox size exceeded max size allowed to export. How?

I am trying to export the old backed up mailbox to a PST but it showed error that “Selected items size [43524715222 bytes] exceed max size allowed to export [26843545600 bytes]”. I could not split the folder as it is just one folder [Inbox]. Any idea how to resolve this? Thank you.

Dynamic AD Groups for Content

Hello, We set up a new Metallic environment recently. We are backing up Exchange/OneDrive for a small subset of people. I added these people to a Static AD group created in OnPrem AD. Now I realise that a Dynamic AD group would be better. I see that if I convert the Static group to a Dynamic group, all members will be removed. I found that I already have a Dynamic AD group that I can use. Can I start using the Dynamic group instead of the Static group? The screenshot may make more sense. Regards Fergus

Is it possible to remain the same auto-number generated on Salesforce?

Hi community, Recently we started using Metallic as our backup solution for our Salesforce. There is a field in Salesforce generated automatically as an external ID. I wonder if there is any possibility to remain the same external ID when doing the restore. I tried the record restore and it seems Salesforce generated a new ID. Thanks.

How to get past this error of Worm Storage Policy

Hi folks, Getting this error Here’s the background, simplified Out of space in Metallic, storage policy is set to 365days/1 cycle. We moved to Metallic sometime last spring I think? Either way, chewed up 50TB in about 6 months. I think I have it down now where I have two storage policies, backing up the same stuff on the same retention period. However, if I try and reduce the retention rate of one of the policies (from 365/1 to say, 180 days / 1 cycle), I the error above. How do i get past that? I’ve submitted this to support and they have said nothing about any form to be filled out.

Scheduling Bandwidth Throttling

Morning, Is it possible to schedule client throttling? I’m getting users complaining of sudden drops in bandwidth at odd times of the day, and when it happened to a tech, he was able to pinpoint it to a backup in progress. It dropped performance from 2 Gb/s to under 100 Mb/s, briefly, but it was very noticeable to all on that segment. Thanks! Roger

Hi, I have a windows server which is a main file server. However if i need to restore a file or folder to the original location. I seem to need access permissions to the destination folder. Is there a specific role or credential that would mitigate against this, and allow my Metallic\Domain user account to perform the restore please. Regards Tony

AirGap capacity

If I understand correctly with a license of 20TB AirGap customer can send to Azure up to 20TB of local data. With AirGap the space occupied in Azure will be 2x or more (40+TB). There is no extra cost for the customer for this 2x+ capacity, it is included in the Commvault license they have correct? Thanks a lot Panos

Backing up Metallic Gateway server

I have been tasked with backing up our OS drive on our on premises Metallic Gateway. We need to include the servers Window’s System State as part of the backups. I have looked in our File Server list in metallic, and I do not see the gateway listed. I know the server has the File System agent already installed on it from when Metallic was originally installed. Is It considered a best practice to back up the gateway’s OS drive. I should note the the gateway is also a cache server for local backups, and we do not want to backup the deduped data volumes. If backing up the OS drive of the Metallic Gateway is not recommended, what is the general process for rebuilding the OS drive on that server?
