DDB file location for secondary copy on Cloud storage

Hello, I want to setup secondary copy to cloud. Primary copy is using local disk library and DDB with single partition with path X:\DDBWhen I will create storage pool for cloud storage, should I create (or not) separate folder on disk X:\ for new pool DDB partition? For example X:\CloudDDB There is recommendation from documentation that sounds strange for me: “When you create more than one storage pool using the same MediaAgent and DDB disk, make sure to specify the same DDB path. Do not create separate subfolders on the DDB disk for each storage pool.” https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/12411_deduplication_building_block_guide.html Maybe there is mistake? Two different DDBs pointing to same disk path? Thanks.

AutoScale Sku deprecation

We just received an alert that the sku for autoscaling is being deprecated. Is there a new one we can use, and I assume an additional setting to define the new sku. I will attempt to use the windows sku, but I fear it may be next in line for deprecation. One or more image versions within the plan commvaultlinuxfr32 from the publisher, commvault, have been scheduled for deprecation. As of August 16, 2024, you have workloads that are running on these images. These workloads will continue to run and will not be impacted. However, additional instances cannot be deployed after the deprecation date.

Commvault BaaS (MSP) Design

Hi Everyone, We've got a customer intended to provide BaaS to its customers through Commvault. His main concerns are related to security. As his has customer which have their data located on-prem and which should be protected in the new BaaS. The concern is how the network design should be in order to transmit the data from the end customer DC to the new BaaS platform without exposing all the CommCell nodes to the internet. We heard of Network Gateways, but actually we do not have any clue how this can be done. If Network Gateways is actually the solution in order to only expose other nodes (CS and MAs), does that mean even the Management Plane (Access of the Tenant to the CommandCenter for Backup Management) is transmitted over the NetGw ? Any details regarding this would be nice, thanks in advance. Regards.

Commvault Azure Immutability

We want to have Azure Blob containers Immutable feature turned ON. Primary - Incremental - 30Days - AzureBlobContainer1Monthly Full backup Extended retention - 365Days - AzureBlobContainer1With Commvault Deduplication. Commvault DDB resides on the Media Agent. How so we handle DDB and the extended retention of INCR and Full on the Container1? Will the data on the container1 expire post INCR has reached its retention for 30Days? Currently we are not sealing our DDB. Do we need to seal the DDB when using Azure Immutable storage? Can we have one Azure Immutable blob and inside them have multiple folders with multiple retention? How does Commvault Retention linked with Azure blob Immutable - Access Policy - Retention Interval? What if Azure Retention Interval on AzureBlobcontainer1 is set for 30Days and My Commvault retention is for 365Days. what happens to the same data on 31st day?

Backup storage sizing

Hi Vaulters, Hope everyone is doing well. We have a new commvault platform that will be installed, and we’ve been asked by our storage team what are the LUNs size that are needed for backed up data. In order for them to create and map them to our MediaAgents. So, it’s a sizing question. Are there any recommendations per Commvault or utility that can be used to help us decide what’s the best storage configuration will fit our needs ? Knowing that our platform will back up multiple workloads : VMs, FileSystems, DBs (SAP HANA), Mailboxes (Exchange), Active Directory ...etc. Any recommendation from you guys would be much appreciated. RegardS.

Preparing for CHKDSK to corrupt my DDB

Hi Team, So I’ve been limping along with a dirty-flag on the drive hosting my DDB. This actually occurred due to a CrowdStrike BSOD a few weeks back, but recovering data was more important than clearing the CHKDSK. However, we obviously cannot limp along forever.I am assuming the worst here, and that when we finally allow CHKDSK to repair the volume it will corrupt my DDB. It usually does, and I have seen this before. So I suppose the question is, do I just roll with it, or is there something else I can do to minimize the impact of a potential DDB Recovery? Thanks

Commvault Cloud / Metallic > Dynamics 365 Excluded Content

When excluding Dynamics 365 content from backup, it needs to be assigned to a Dynamics 365 Plan - I am interested in understanding why. Can someone please offer an explanation? That step seems to have been omitted from the documentation.

Syslog Forwarding - Alerts

I am looking to configure Syslog Forwarding for Audit Trail and Alerts and was wondering what alerts are going to be forwarded, as there doesn’t seem to be a specific Alert Notification Type for Syslog. On the assumption that all Alerts are forwarded, is there an existing CMR to provide granular control?

Virtual machines consume OI licences instead of VOI licences

Hello everyone, 11 virtual machines (Win&Linux) located in the vCenter were previously backed up as VMs. This has now been changed to FS backup, the old subclients have been deleted. Since then, OI licences have been assigned to the virtual machines. All machines have the File System + Filesystem Core installed, some also have MSSQL Agent or Oracle. The VMS were discovered by the vCenter/VM backup before the agent was installed. They should therefore count as VMs. This procedure has already been used for many machines, so far there have been no such problems Is there a best practice on how to fix that behaviour? Regards,Marian
