Hello community!I recently switched for OneDrive backup, from v1 to v2 and a have a question:In Users tab, I can add an extra column called “OneDrive enabled”.Then I see that my users are mixed in this filter. Some of these are Yes and some other with No, but all of users are backed up (with also actual size).So, could you please help me, what is “OneDrive enabled” for?Thank you in advance,Nikos

Hi Team,I cannot understand what the scheduler task option is for:Run Incremental Backup - Before Synthetic Fullsince it later gives Failure Reason:Synthetic Full cannot run because no Incremental or Differential backup was run after last Full backup for the subclient.Can someone explain this? Regards,Piotr Grzegorek.

commvault.Instance001.service has suddenly stopped on all the linux clients.Next backup will run on Saturday.I believe this is a commvault communication service on all clients which needs to be run in order to backup clients.Could you please let me know how to restart this as I cannot have backup failures this saturday. It is crucial to the business.

Hello,we have to recall stubs of about 2000 mailboxes. I want to use massrecall tool to recall the stubs. My question is, is there an option to define the complete mailbox of the user and to define exclusions of specific folders (calendar, deleted items, etc.). At the monent I don’t know which folders were created by users beside inbox. Or is it necessary to report all mailboxes and folders to create a input file which contains the folders that shoul be included for mass recall?Thanks and regards,Thomas

Hi, We are looking for a way to fetch from the Commserv - Jobs Copied By AuxCopy Job.Currently we use this API call - qoperation execscript -sn QS_JobsCopiedByAuxCopyJob,but the response we are getting includes details that are not aligned with what we see on the Console GUI. Jobs that are marked as ‘Copied’ on GUI doesn't show on the API response. Is there any other way to fetch that data and the get the latest status ?  Thanks

Hi Team,I am planning for restore single mail box from the Exchange DAG database backup, Could you please share the steps by steps for this activity.  

Hi Problem description:VMWare subclient  (with NetApp datastores via NFS) is running using:SnapShot (primary Snap) -> SnapVault -> Backup2Disk.First a full and since then always inc + 1 x a week synthetic full was backed up. The primary target (default disklibrary) must be changed and this is not possible in the storage policy :( I can set up a new primary target but the default library (for metadata SnapShot etc) is always the original library. So I have to set up a new storage policy with a new default library. How does it behave now with:a.) the Synthetic fulls? Do I have to start again with a real full or does CV just take the data assigned to the client from whatever library for the next synthetic full and if I delete the old storage policy I have still functionable backups?b.) if I move the SubClient to the new Storage Policy it keeps the CBT/SnapShot/SnapVault information? Unfortunately I can't test it easily at the client because there is some "unrest" about CV. Best rega

Hi guys,We are planning to set up LiveSync and our Web Server is installed on the primary CommServe Instance001. I assume that if we don’t separate the Web Server, we will only be able to operate from the CommCell if a failover occurs (since LiveSync works at the SQL Server agent level). I did not see in the documentation that having a seperate Web Server was a requirement for LiveSync and I was wondering if it was absolutely necessary or if it would be a better practice to set it up as a separate server.Thanks for your help!

Hi, A customer has a CPU constraint server with PostgreSQL DB running. DB is approx. 96GB in size. Dumpbased backup took 5h30m which is a very long time to backup 96GB of data. Commvault by default is using pg_dump with -Fc parameter which compresses backup by default I’m not a DB admin but as far as I know postgreSQL compression is very resource intensive. Is there a way to run PostgreSQL dumpbased backup without pg_dump compression?

I just enabled DDB verification system created schedule policy .Estimated completion time of DDB verification for some of Dedupe Stores is like 20-30 days .Should i disable ddb verification schedule policy as i can not allow running verification job for 20-30 days ?Also , is it worth running ddb verification ? if yes , Why ?Will it create any impact to backup jobs as its consuming many streams ?Also , should i consider switching from complete verification to quick verification ? what is major difference and benefits ?Regards, Mohit

Hello Dears, i have AIX server which act as file server for invoice application that saves millions of invoices every monththe directory which contains the invoices, the directory structure is consists of such directories stands for the year/month/day structure such as dir > 2021 > 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12  and 01 has directories for days and etc i configured the directory to be backed up as synthtic full and daily inc but the jobs are failing in the scan phase due to the huge number of files and folders i tried to create multiple subclients to minimized the scan window but still has the same issue, scan phase takes long time and fail in the end while directories other than the invoices is working normally.  appreciate to enlighten me with a solution or another backup starategy that will help to fix the issue and reduce the backup time. also, appreciate to advice if i increased the network agent on subclient level and enabled folder level multi-thearding and set to 30

Hi Team,Customer has asked me about Azure Stack HCI backup recommended volume size. He sent me a link to MS docshttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/concepts/plan-volumes Customer is concerned about planning for volume sizes of VMs i.e. 2x10TB vs 1x20TB vm disk.So the question that remains is: does Commvault use Hyper-V RCT API and/or ReFS block cloning?Can I advice customer to go over 10TB vm disk without hurting performance? 

Hello All,We are planning to move the DDB and Index cache to new cloud media agent from old cloud media agent and then we would like to rename the new media agent with the name of old media agent name.In this scenario after the DDB and index migration I should power off the old cloud media agent and reinstall the new media agent with the old cloud media agent name, this is what i feel would be the best method.or this can be done differently, Any suggestions?RegardsAnanth
