Hi CommVault Community,I deployed the Azure Applications for M365 Services with the Express Setup.The Azure Applications have some permissions that are somewhat concerning from a security perspective.Therefore the question, are the following permissions really necessary?Why do the Azure Apps need "Application.ReadWrite.All" permissions?Why does the Azure Application for SharePoint Online need "RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory" permissions?They are not listed in the official documentation!https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/essential/142507_request_and_grant_permissions_to_azure_apis_for_azure_app_for_sharepoint_online.htmlCVSPBackupApp

Hello Community, Commvault offers several ways to secure the environment. Be it Ransomeware protection, account lock after x attempts, unusual file activities. Is there an overview of what else is possible here? We need to raise our security standards and would have to evaluate all the possibilities that Commvault offers. Maybe someone of you has already discovered all the features or even uses them and can give useful tips here. Kind RegardsThomas

I have a request to run a report for all files backed up on a specific date within a specific folder.  I am either looking for a report that will show this to me or a way to have all backed up files copied to a spreadsheet.   I have tried running a file search report a Chargeback report and backup job summary report.  None of these attempts are giving me the listing that I am looking for.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what report to run or how to get the list of all of the files in a CSV?  

Hi, I would like to know how to apply the below to more than 500 systems in one go.change the “Default Sub Client Policy” - “Retention” - “For files deleted by user”  change from “Retain indefinitely” to “Use storage policy copy retention”. Cannot certainly do it manually so looking for an option to save my day and time.. Regards,Terence

We are on 11.28.44 and I noticed when we disable backup activity at the client level of a virtual machine client (which has no agents installed), there is no visual indication that activity is disabled.Is this expected?Most other clients will show red arrows to indicate that activity is disabled - but VMs don’t seem to show this.I see that I can create a smart client computer group which could group and show all of the backup activity disabled clients, but it would be nice to visually get the red arrow indication when activity is disabled without having to go to properties of the client to check.

Hi... I'll try to be short... Here's the setup:- Two AIX clients in a DMZ zone.- CS connects to the clients front end NIC.- In between clients and MAs, a Backup Network is defined along with a OneWay FW. (set on the client group level) - Backups of each of the clients work as expected. CS can happily communicate with the clients on their front- end NIC and backup streams are running over the backup network as expected.- Clients are added to a UNIX pseudo cluster client. - The UNIX pseudo cluster is a VIP address (along with a FQDN name) which is owned by the active node. Issue:Backups configured for the UNIX pseudo cluster client fail as the DIP configuration for the active node doesn't seem to be taken into consideration.. Is there any way around this behavior? We need the backup data streams to originate from the DIP address on what ever node is active. CVLT v11.20.60 Any ideas? 

Hi,Is it possible to generate a report about the Instance properties of the PostgreSQL clients?

Hi, we have accidentally removed all attributes for backing up VMs in VCenter and we are in the process of re-adding them. Do we have the ability to create a report that can clearly explain to us which VM had which attribute and which one did not in Vcenter ? anyone know how to restore the VM’s attributes to that it was as before in VCenter ? Thanks 

Hi All,Our client is still using iData agent to Backup VM’s. To convinse then for moving from iData agent Backups to VSA backup pleaseprovide pros and cons of VSA Bakcups.

We have VM Periodic (classic) replication setup for some VM’s in an environment, the menu that pops out to initiate the failover scenarios does not display properly if you have limited VM’s in the replication group. The menu slides out but is then hidden behind the Replication Monitor pane.Example below of a replication group with a single VM in it:If a replication group has multiple VM’s in there (in this case 4) the menu displays correctly:Seeing this issue in Chromium based browsers.  Apart from resizing the window to something very narrow/tall (like example below):

Just wanting a warm fuzzy on this setting…as we have been upgrading Commvault since v9...We have CacheMFTRecs added and set = 1 on all our Virtual Server proxy servers via several “Client Groups” that explicitly add it. The documentation (https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/details?name=%22CacheMFTRecs%22&id=2163) indicates “For Version 10 Service Pack 6A and higher, this key is enabled by default.”. We are on SP11, but I’m not seeing the setting set in the “Advanced settings” (It’s not even there to select) if I make a new Virtual Server proxy group.Question: So would it be ok to remove the CacheMFTRecs additional setting from the client groups, as “set by default” means its internally set to 1 inside the … errr...Virtual Server client or something... and not

Is it possible to have more than one Network Gateway to the same zone in a Commvault deployment? Obviously know can have multiple gateways that are used to access multiple security zones but is it possible to have multiple gateways to the same zone in a redundant configuration?

HiWe want to configure Hyperscale data and storage network interfaces with bonding option but currenlty we do not have network resources for second network interface cable connection to switch for both data and storage networks. Can we configured Hyperscale with one interface for data and storage and later we can connect second interface for data and storage and configured bodnding for both networks. wihtout losing any configuration or backup data.Because with one cable connection for data and storage network we cannot configured bonding correct?Thanks    

Hi I can’t seem to find any documentation for FR.11.30 Is there a link to what new features it has? 

Hi to all,at a customer I perform an NDMP backup of a Volume containing a VMware Datastore (5 year retention).I need to change the backup type from NDMP to VSA backup (vCenter Client) protecting the entire Volume itself.My question is should I buy double the license capacity or does Commvault understand that it is protecting the same data?The customer has a TB capacitive "Complete" license. 

Feature Release update to 11.30 is failing with error "Update history file is corrupt" is there any KB for this error?I’m unable to find one
