Hello,Im looking for best practices about MS SQL DB backup with the following requirements:Full DB backup / per day Log backups every 10’I see from Command Center, that the “default” Plan is to have Synthetic Full, Incremental and Log backups.Whats the best practice to start with? I was thinking to leave only the Synthetic Full backup once a day and the Log backup every 10’. And delete the incremental backup from Schedule.    Is this enough ? Thank you in advance!

Hi, I would like to test a Full System Recovery of Active Directory, not the backuped data itself, but the procedure. 2 DC’s (Windows 2008 R2) with agents installed. According to the documentation, In the event of a disaster, I can recover the full system by using either 1-Touch Bare Metal Recovery or a full system recovery.In my case, I want to test “Full System Recovery: Recovering a Domain Controller” documentation starting from second item (Restoring the file system data). Why do we have 3 options there? Primary, Non-Authoritative and Authoritative.  Microsoft documentation cites only two options.The restoration of a domain controller can be performed in one of two ways: with a non-authoritative or an authoritative restore. Where does the Primary option comes from? I have the impression that the following option refers to restoring a server with the Microsoft Clustering service installed. This is applicable to Active Directory restore process. Where does the option Allow Authoritat

Hi,I want to backup and archive my netapp cifs shared. When I read through documentation online, there is NAS & ndmp backup.I believe the best way is through ndmp backup using MA as ndmp remote server.I just don’t get on the archive potion. The data access node and f-policy proxy can I use the same MA use for backup?Will it be like one-pass, where I just run backup and then archive will be based on the rules set within the same backup process? Or different backup and archive set need to be created and run different job? regards,Fauzi

HELLO GUYS.The SAP Hana backup was running perfectly.But, unexpected error started with the following message."UNABLE TO ESTABLISH CONNECTIVITY WITH THESE INTANCE PROPERTIES FOR [xx]. [INSTANCE PROPERTIES VALIDATION FAILED. PLEASE CHECK DB CREDENTIALS.]"I contacted the SAP HANA team. I was told that DATABASE is online and operational. And the user "backup" has the credentials OK. I asked for a password reset.However, none of this resolved. Error persists.

My client wants to know why the core dump is happening(server : linux) 

Hello,When Commvault is licensed using “Per VM” model it is allowed to install Commvault backup agents (MS SQL, Oracle, Filesystem,..) inside VMs, to protect data on those VMs, in this case vOI license is used.In some cases it makes no sense to backup those VMs using VSA agent if it is backed up by application specific agent, in another cases it is not possible, for example VMs with physical RDM disks.Question: Is it allowed from licensing perspective to backup VMs using only agent inside VM, without VSA  backup, will it comply with “Per VM” licensing model?Br,Andrejs
