Hi can commvault backup azure cosmoadb mangodb api or will be the roadmap for next release.

Hello all!I am wondering if there is a way to check “storage” on servers, which are a part of backup in Commvault.Reason: In our company - we as a backup team does not have direct access to hosts, and sometimes it took ages to find someone responsible for server to do some checks…Quesion:If there is File System agent installed on server - is there a way to check things like “total size, consumed space, free space”? On both Linux and Windows machines?It would help us a lot, especially while restoring out of place DBs.I am asking because i have found that Oracle agent is doing some checks while preparing restore:I have like thousands of ideas how it could improve our quality of work...Any ideas?Thanks! 

we are trying to start a backup for a subclient with editing the advance option under media tab and changing retention for primary job to different retention. backup is completed but it shows us the retention of the storage policy only not the one we have changed it.how to make backup use retention we set in manual backup advance option and not using the retention form storage policy.

Hello Commvault Community, We are running 11.32.35, right now we have around 70 VMs with Windows and Linux operating systems. We also have a single Media Agent running RHEL.To backup Windows-based VMs, do we need to deploy Windows MA or can we leverage it with existing RHEL MA? Then what about the VSA, is it also has to be windows-based? Please suggest.

I am trying to find a solution in the scheduler to keep my monthly backups in one weekend.At the moment my monthly backups are configured to run the first Saturday and the first Sunday, but these two days aren’t always in the same weekend.How do I adapt the scheduler to select the monthly fulls from the same weekend?

Hello all, While trying to start 1-Touch restore from FS backup of RedHat 8.8 we are having this issue after first stage of restore: Does anyone know what might cause this problem?

Customer contacted us saying they saw a File system backup job “Completed with errors”.Found in job history details that 5-6 objects failed due to “access is denied”.I mentioned this to the customer, and it appears the failed objects are folders that were deleted 3 days ago.I guess Commvault is running some kind of indexing before a backup job starts(?), but I don’t know why it still “sees” the deleted folders during indexing or backup..?Can I force update the index somehow? Is this even caused by a problem with index?(Since the folders were deleted there has been 2 Completed with errors with reference to the same folders. I suspect the backup today will be the same..)

HelloWe have worm enabled copies. The retention is 10 days and 1 cycle.Now we have a server that is decomissioned and backups have expiered after 20 days, so we are cleaning up the stg copies. But coming to the worm copy we can’t get rid of it due to that we can’t manually delete a job from it. As it is now it seems the backup jobs will be in there forever.I know we can do the process for unlocking the worm setting via support.Is there a best practicies regarding worm enabled copies in the respect of cycles?Am I right to assumethat, If we would set the cycles to 0 the job would prune off correctly?BRHenke
