Hi all,
We encrypted our databases with TDE in a pilot project and figured that Commvault SQL module makes the backup 8 times larger compared database dump on the disk (SQL 2016, compression enabled).
What is recommended Commvault configuration so that we retain the size SQL Server can achieve? We moved from filesystem backup to native backup few years ago and currently it looks like we need to move back!
Has anyone implemented this with good results, please?
Thank you.
the logs would help determine what is happening. normally TDE backups do not dedupe well at all because of the encryption.
+13Hi
Did you enable SQL native compression for Commvault backups also? Instance level compression option does not affect CV backups as CV uses VDI interface.
Thanks,
Sunil
Thank you both for your responses.
We were in touch with the CV support but they didn’t know at the point of our conversation. Took it offline and came with instructions a day later. We tested it and it works!

Yes, this is the option I was talking about.
Glad you have it resolved.
