Has anyone creates a backup report that list full and differential backup? I tried to save the job summary report but it changes after I change it. It looks like the changes are not permanent.

Hello Commvault Community, I need to change the Active Directory domains to a new one (new name, new user accounts, change of Hostnames for Clients) - I already have a plan on how to do it. I would like to make sure that the plan I have prepared for myself doesn’t have any missing elements. I have the biggest concerns when changing the domain for CommServe (whether everything will flow without any problems on the SQL database side). The environment runs on the SP24 version, all configured Clients have DNS Hostnames. For example, there is currently the domain "ABC" and it’s to be changed to the domain "AB". On the DNS side of the server, we plan to add a second record with the target domain - "AB" for each Client, then the Clients will run on two DNS Hostname, but the recognizable one on the Commvault side will be one - old domain. Plan:1. Create an account with "Master" permissions.2. DR Backup.

I have a pretty straightforward question: does CV support the Windows 10 long path feature regarding FS/VSA backups and restores?MS Reference:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=cmdthanks!

Hi experts, I got two questions from a customer about Oracle table restore.Could you help me on this? 1. Assuming customer performs Oracle Dash Full(synthetic/merge) based on NetApp intellisnap, can CVLT do table level restore from merged full backup image?(Is this a feature provided from complete full backup image?) 2. Customer runs disk library which is configured with object storage, can we do table level restore using object storage repository? Please kindly let me know if any further limitation for table recovery.Thanks. 

Hello,I’ve found the setting called “nFilterApplicationFiles” Create this additional setting and set its value as 1 to exclude the database application files from the file system backup. This applies to DB2, Oracle, SAP for Oracle and SAP HANA.Additional Settings Description (commvault.com)  As for the DB2 it’s being covered under this link: Excluding Application Files from a UNIX File System Backup (commvault.com) Excluded DB2 FilesThe following files are excluded when you set the additional setting on a DB2 client:The DB2 datafiles that the software displays in the CommCell Console DB2 browse pane.

Let us say you have a backup that for various reasons stretches over three days.We have days 1, 2 and 3.Backup “window” is from 1700 hours to next day at 0800 hours.Backup starts day 1 at 1700 hours end on day 3 at 0800 hours.During work hours on day 2 and 3 files are changed, deleted and replaced on the server we are backing up.What data will be in the backup when finished on day 3?Will data from day 2 and 3 be there or does CommVault make a delta snapshot file on day 1 that contains the data that will be backed up?Steeler 

Trying to understand if it makes sense to leverage their backup API.https://access.redhat.com/articles/5456281#what-is-oadp-2Thanks.

What is the best approach to Migrate Linux (SuSE 12) Media Agent to Linux (RHEL8.4) VSA and Media Agent?

Over the past year I have been elbows deep into system governance and this brought me to loving Activate .This AM I woke up to check reporting and noticed that ALL of my projects were reporting “ No data found” following by a Command Center alert “ Failed to get Schema, Make sure Analyitics Engine is reachable”Me being .. well.. Me, I knew right where to look. My index server and content analyizer were up and active, so- naturally i rebooted them. Just incase an update snuck in there.After reboot the issue still exists. Anyone else have this issue? I have opened a ticket with Maintenance advantage on the lowest priority. I would like to see if we “ The Community” can resolve this issue together.

Hi team, I got a question from partner engineer and I share with you to get the confirmation.  - Can we back up the HDS HCP object storage as backup source? (S3 compat) - To do this it requires  CV-UBKRC-FT license? Thank you. 

Hi commvault Champs , Please clarify my Doubt on network gateway :  we were under assumption that if we dont want to extend our Backup VLAN to the client ,  we need to get a network gateway trough which our backup data will flow through backup VALN to end storage .   But today we configured MSSQL always on DB backup and we had network gateway setup , But backups kept on failing till we configured MSSQL instances with Backup VLAN DIP .  If this is the case do we really need a network gateway ?  what is actual purpose of it ?  why do i need to configure backup VLAN DIP on MSSQL ( Always on ) instances for the backup data to flow when i  have a network gateway server ?

Is there a way to schedule an out of place restore (to disk) of a specific o365 teams-folder?

But for the o365 jobs i can't find a similar possibility in the webgui.

We are building up a high-available Postgresql cluster by using HA-Proxy, etcd and Patroni.In this design the postgres-instances are controlled by the patroni-service and are located in a separate directory on a dedicated lvm each. There is also the socket-file stored.While trying to connect, Commvault is looking in the default directory ‘/var/run/postgresql/’ for the socket-file and then failes, because it is located in an instance-specific directory instead like ‘/data/patroni/instance1/’Is there a way to tell Commvault this path? Like in the MySQL iDA where there is a field specific for the “Socket File”?
