Hi Commvault People,

An interesting issue which cropped up when reviewing our environment recently.

Back in the V9 days, Commvault used to provide a shedload of recommended filters, such as **.TMP and all that kind of thing.

Subsequently that was added to, based on the customer requirements, such as mdf, ldf for those of us that are using SQL agents. And all of these filters were added into the Global Filters or Cell Level etc.

However …. i noticed that in V11, that Commvault will exclude files from backup based on a registry key in windows which has a pre-assembled list of items to be excluded.

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/127043_default_backup_filters_for_windows.html

So you don’t have now exclude those old-school V9 filters (although keep your pesonliased, site-configurables obviously).

Anywayz … just thought I’d throw it out there, coz for those of us who have upgraded over the years you may not have been aware.

Thanks
