Self-Hosted Q&A

From here: Deduplication Best Practices (commvault.com)I’m seeing from this link its “best practice” if you have a DDB of around 100-200 TB to do a full backup “1 tie per week” and do incremental backups daily.  I would assume this is the case for a smaller DDB as well.My system currently has 5 DDBs (all multiple partitions) where 3 of them are ~40 TB, and the two large ones are ~350TB each.   We have a schedule to do a Full DDB backup “Daily” of all of them, and it appears to be the built in “System Created for DDB Clients” schedule.Is “taking Full DDB Backups daily” of this size “excessive” or “not really needed”?  I wasn’t aware you can schedule incremental DDB backups and wasn’t sure if this is something you can just add into an existing schedule. “Full daily” is just the schedule we have had for a long

Hello Community,The question is about how to back up mailboxes from a different domain using the existing Exchange Online pseudo-client.According to the CV mailbox discovery log, the process begins:#1 the process begins by contacting the Azure AD connection details. #2 Then, CV identifies the AD cloud region and determines that we are using Exchange Online with an on-premises AD, which is the environment type defined in Commcell. #3 The local system account is used for LDAP to discover users from the on-premises AD.Based on the CV mailbox discovery/backup process, it seems possible to configure the new domain in the existing Exchange Online pseudo-client. if so, can you please check see if the following steps works:#1 Create a separate Exchange Online service account with exch admin role for the new domain and add it to Commcell Exch online config and  Create a new local system account which used to connect to the new domain if it

🙋Hi Community,❓Can anyone tell me if there is any parameter in CommVault that I can adjust the retention period of Jobs information that has already expired?💡Example: A Job expires today and 3 months later I run the Job History listing with "Included Aged Data".😥This Job that expired today doesn't even appear in the listing anymore, even when selecting the "Included Aged Data" option.❓Is it possible to increase the time that this expired Jobs information is retained in CommVault?Best Regards,Heitor Oliveira

Greetings,There are two physical machines running Oracle Linux 7.6 with 1-Touch Backup (CV 11.24.78) configured the same way. 1-Touch Backup is working fine on one machine, no errors, ‘all green’ 👍Now, let’s take a look at the other host:It’s a differential backup (the full backup completed successfully the day before); six hours later, after 10 attempts CV gives up 😥There aren’t many details in the CV journal with regard to what happens at 10:15:14 - this is where (and when) the problem occurs:However, I see a lot more in FileScan.log

We have an environment mainly that is mainly linuxbased and try to keep number of windows servers down to a minimum. However we see that Office365 backups require that the webserver is windows based due to different reasons and requires an outlook installed to do PST restores.We are planning to try to implement HA on the commandcenter/webserver side and have a few questions in that regard.Planning for 1 commandcenter to point to 1 webserver as pr documentation.Must these webservers also be windows based to be able to support restores and configurations of M365 clients. or is it enough that there is one windowsbased webserver available?Must all webservers have outlook installed to do export to PST or can commvault somehow route the PST generation to specific webservers and the file be made available for the correct webserver?The simple design would be to keep the webservers windowsbased with outlook installed, but would prefer to move more to linuxb

Hi,I am looking for a way, for example via workflow, to set all started (partially written) media (tapes) to full at the end of a quarter so that the backups for the new quarter all go to new tapes. We can not use the vault tracker because there are not enough export slots (or how does it work if a medium is to be exported via vault tracker but all mailslots are full ??). Or can we also use the vault tracker to just mark the media of the past quarter for export only (and disabling further writes)  without exporting the tapes  to the mailslots themselves so that we can take out the tapes in the order we want?Best regardsFrank

Hi Team,In my environment the CommserveDB size was at 77 GB now and when I checked the history of that it was 59 GB on March 18 and from March 19th it was 77 GB.There were no changes performed on the environment.Will there be any reason why there’s a 18GB size increment on the CommserveDB and will it impact to the environment.???Note: Out-off 77GB the CommservData size is 55GB and Log size is 20.5 GB

Hello everyone,I’m testing my recent upgrade from the V1 to V2 client for OneDrive backups.  My OneDrive is Ken.Hemmerling@apsc.ca\My Documents and I’m testing a restore of a Word doc from within a folder named DBA.  On the screen where I select the file to be restored, I also select Restore the data to another location and specify the DBA-Restored folder. What I’m want to see after the restore job finishes is:  DBA-Restored\Tom.docWhat I actually see is: DBA-Restored\Ken.Hemmerling@apsc.ca\My Documents\DBA\Tom.docIs there a way to tweak the configuration of CommVault so that when I say “restore file Tom.doc” that I actually get “Tom.doc” without the rest of the path?Ken
