Hello Commvault Community,  Could any of you tell me about the location for the Commvault Vaultracker configuration? How will they differ, how to understand it correctly, because in the documentation I have not found an answer that fully allowed me to understand it. What is the difference between Stationary and Transit location - is it just a logical difference or maybe I don't understand something? Thanks&Regards,Kamil

Hello Community, #1 Is there a possibility of encountering issues such as performance degradation, resource contention, and conflicts when running both Commvault Azure VM backup (both Intellisnap and regular Azure VM-level backup) and Azure Site Recovery (ASR) on the same virtual machine at the same time(running both Commvault Azure VM backup using Intellisnap and ASR on the same virtual machine) or any side node from other customers that you were aware of  #2 are those two solutions work differently and capture different types of data during backup/asr replication? thanks 

Hello we just upgraded to 11.28 maintenance release 63 and I have noticed that the commcell EVENT VIEWER - ALL Events is no longer displaying “program-JobManager” backup jobs like it use to when we were on 11.24.x.   It does list in the event viewer when the DR jobs runs or if there is are fail logins etc but no longer displays the completed backup jobs.Backup jobs are running successful as I can in the “command center” they have completed successful Any thoughts on why this is happening.  Im still consider myself a rookie commvault user. ThanksBC 

I want to monitor how much my client computer are consuming from my disk, how to do that ? I checked the monitoring template but i did not find what i need.

Good day everyone,I have a customer that has been doing file arching for few years now. But now they need to massively recall everything that has been archived, but for that they need to provision the space required for the recall.As mentioned on the following thread, I can see the Archive / Compliance Job summary report:And it shows what was archived using traditional Archiving.But, the problem is that the customer switched to OnePass at some point. And based on the customer’s estimation, the OnePass archived data does not show in the report.Is there a way to see how much data has been archived with OnePass? Many thanks in advance.

Hello,I have Commserve backup server simpana version 11.20.85, I have configured setup for backup four virtual machine (VMware virtualization)I noticed that the Data and Index backup of four virtual machine is placed on two separate tapes on the Tape library. This is a limitation because I have two drives on the Tape library.If I have a backup that is performed on another drive, the backup of these four virtual machines cannot be performed simultaneously.Where is it configured, perhaps in the Storage policy or Schedule policy, that the Data and Index backups are placed on two separate tapes?Best regards,Elizabeta

We're running FR30.43 and a customer asked us if there are ways to improve backup/recovery performance of a Windows File Server cluster based on Windows Storage Spaces Direct. Our customers manage everything via Command Center and have to access to the CommCell console. From the CommCell console there are/were several ways that allowed you to improve backup/restore performance:Enable the option "Allow multiple data readers within a drive or mount point" Increase data readers Spread contents over multiple subclientsBesides the last one mentioned the other two mentioned cannot be set/tweaked when you use protection plans. So, my questions is what is the default behaviour when using plans and what options can you implement that improve backup/recovery performance for large file servers. 

one of our client need test the one of the backup in every month to make sure that they have a working backup copy , is there anyway we can automate this process where each month end, it trigger a restore operation to using live mount and does the testing and delete it ,and send a report to team, is it achievable using workflow , can anyone help how can i build
