Hi All,
We are in the process of decommissioning the on-prem media agent server. After decommission we won’t have to backup any clients and the new server which we are going to build is for restores. The new server needs to be build in Azure.Currently we have on prem backups to disk library for 30 days retention and AUX Copy backup which runs every 60 mins to AWS Deep Archive. In order to prepare the new server for restores till date, I have done the following, but got stuck with some questions, Please assist me in completing this task.
- Built a new Windows Server in Azure
- Installed CommVault Media Agent Server with the same build as the on-prem server 11.20.85
Ques : Should we move DDB of AWS to new Media Agent Server?

Should we copy the Index Cache?
Copy the contents of the index cache directory from the old MediaAgent to the new MediaAgent.
Can i ignore the disk library backup to new media agent server as we are assuming that the AWS has latest backup for any future restores?
How should i test the VM restore or file restore before decomm the old media agent server?
