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

The Agent Restartability matrix suggests that an Exhange Mailbox archive operation will restart from the point-of-failure. Can anyone confirm whether, at an individual mailbox level, this means that the operation will continue on from the last protected mail item, or does it start from the beginning for that mailbox?

Is there way can we edit the Customized RPM Package  ( like Commserve hostname or clienthostname)

Hi,I'd like to know how to check that my ‘Retire laptops when they are offline for...’ and ‘Delete retired laptops after’ settings are working properly ?the number of laptops is not decreasing… thanks a lot 

Good dayI”m busy configuring the download center for endpoint package installs. I’ve created the repository using the Web Server options and then added the packages as required and synchronised them.When creating a laptop user and having the invite link sent to them, the below page opens up with no packages published.  If the user navigates to the Webconsole and to the Download Centre, the packages are listed. Ideally I’d prefer the above page to be populate, but not sure when I’m missing?

Hello Commvault Community,While restoring SQL DB to “D” and “E” drive we are getting the below error.Description: Encountered error while writing to the file. Error code [28]. Please make sure there is enough disk space on [C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\iDataAgent\JobResults\CV_JobResults\2\0\18631087\RstStage].I would like to know why the CV_JobResults is taking so much of space (67GB) on “C” drive. In the other hand we have another server where CV_JobResults is availble in “D” drive is taking less space (67KB).If this issue created for the content store available on the Drives, could you please assist me if I can change the path and how. If not please suggest the solutions.
