Hi All. I’m doing some troubleshooting around restore speeds that are slow.I’m wondering what the [AllocBuf Speed] is covering in the cvd.log? Below is copied from the cvd.log6457 7993 04/18 12:17:13 19188780 [FSRESTHEAD ] 18-# Stats: [AllocBuf Speed] Curr Avg [1754.47] MB/Sec, Bytes [54561966768]; Total Avg [184.61] MB/Sec, Bytes [1039473982296] And a side question.The [Head Network] and the [Tail Network], is that covering the network transfer speed? Below is copied from the cvd.log16457 7993 04/18 12:17:13 19188780 Name [Head Network], Start Delay [549207.38 s], Avg [34.60 ms], Procsng Time [6421.69 s], Avg [404.62 us], Bytes [590.01 GB], Speed [94.08 MB/s], Samples [15870867] RCId [38] 9072  d40   04/18 12:17:13 19188780 Name [Tail Network], Start Delay [1202698.70 s], Avg [75.78 ms], Procsng Time [6708.37 s], Avg [422.68 us], Bytes [590.01 GB], Speed [90.06 MB/s], Samples [15870867] RCId [38] Appreciate if anyone could enlighten me. Regards-Anders

Do we have any option to perform Incremental restore.we have tested the Namespace and Application level restore( in and out of place restore). while performing the out of place restore for already existing namespace , if overwrite option is not enabled restoration fails and it succeeds if overwrite option is enabled. In backend this overwrite deletes all the existing resources from the namespaces and recreates again. we are not able to achieve the incremental restore which is not suitable for the TB’s of data size.

Hello, I’m running PostgreSQL v13.14 on RedHat 8.9 I want to restore a PostgreSQL Instance from FSBasedBackupSet.This will only work if I made a Full backup before I start the restore. Otherwise I got the error:Cannot start restore program on host [xxxx*xxxx*8400*8402] - a network error occurred or the product's services are not running.Source: wi823-sep, Process: fsIndexedRestoreThis is the link I use:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/restoring_one_or_more_postgresql_databases.html. But why must I do a Full backup before starting the restore. What if the Instance is corrupt and I can’t start a backup?  

HiWe presently run Commvault version 11.28.36 For some backup tasks/jobs we are using domain accounts. If we update the password to one of these account in Active Directory where do we update the password for the account in Commvault so the task/jobs continue to run?Kind Regards Dean

Hi All, we are actually troubleshooting an perforamnce problem.  There is an Sync Copy top Tape ( LTO 8 )  2 Mediaagents in a ms csv cluster. When we use combinded streams 1 and multiplexing 1 we only get max 400GB/H troughput the normal jobs have 100GB/h mixed data.  If we increase the multiplexing to 8 and combided to streams 1 the performence grows up over 1500GB/h .  so i have 2 Questions: Is there an limitaion in the stream troughput ? So can 1 Stream only use x GB/h Wich impact has the multiplexing on tape for the DR Restore process, Does it realy impact the performance so the tape getting in wind/rewind process ? 

Hi,In today's unpredictable world, data loss can strike from anywhere – a natural disaster, ransomware attack, or even human error. I do the DR backup everyday. I just wonder, when disasters happen, what are the most critical things do I need to get our data back? Stable internet connection Access to CommServer Access to HyperScale nodes Access to tapesThank you.

I'm currently installing Simpana 9 version on my Solaris client and using it.I reinstalled it a while ago due to a problem, and I haven't been able to back it up since then.Back-up content browsing is good, and scanning is good.But it's only not backing up. It's an unknown error.

Hello Commvault Community, Commvault enviroment version: SP34I would like to ask about the possibility of changing the Client Identifier (old Client Name) for the CommServe module.We have an environment that was migrated from the old one - Hardware Refresh, but the Client Name of the CommServe module that we wanted to change remained there. We used the key:bAllowModifyClientNamehttps://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/details?name=%22bAllowModifyClientName%22&id=12282 Unfortunately, this key doesn’t allow you to replace the Client Identifier for CommServe. I know this isn;t highly recommended, but is there any chance of changing this - through Commvault technical support? I'm asking because after Hardware Refresh we used the existing environment and backups by restoring from DR Backup with the CSRecoveryAssistant tool. After this operation, the Client Identifier was taken from DR Backup and doesn’t reflect the actual name of the CommServe module. Thanks in advance,Kami

Buongiorno a tutti, attraverso il modulo "Office 365" sto facendo il backup a delle caselle postali che funziona regolarmente.L'unica cosa è che i lavori risultano "completi con errori" con il seguente messaggio: "No service account(s) found for public folder processing. Please assure that a service account is assigned a mailbox association with owner permissions on the root and subroot public folders in order to proceed with public folder operations."Non so come rimediare a questo avviso.Potete gentilemente darmi supporto?Grazie  Good morning everyone, through the "Office 365" module I am backing up mailboxes, which works regularly.The only thing is that the jobs are "complete with errors" with the following message: "No service account(s) found for public folder processing.

Hello Commvault Community,  If the environment is already configured with Network Gateway (and it works) and I want to change the Hostname of the intermediary module itself (Proxy/Network Gateway), should I do it somehow differently than changing the Hostname for other components in the environment? Changing the Host Name of a Client Computerhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2024/expert/changing_host_name_of_client_computer.html I'm asking because I performed this procedure and on the Network Gateway module itself, the Hostname was changed, but on every Client that is indicated to communicate with the Commvault Infrastructure through this Network Gateway module, it wasn’t changed and the IP address is still displayed, even though it was changed to the FQDN address. Additionally, I performed "Push Network Configuration" operations on each group that belongs to this Network Topology configuration. The change in the laptop properties in the "CommServe Hostname" field indicates the IP ad

Dear Community,In a organization with 1GB network cross infrastructure, Im looking a way to redirect a backup traffic from a Client Server with 10GB lan → a Commvault MediaAgent also with 10GB LAN.This client has a huge Database and in order to proceed with backup, a 10GB interface network!Please for your recommendation / workaround in order to redirect the 10GB interface between the specific client ↔ MediaAgent,  which also has 1GB network (for the other backup jobs)!How can we ensure that database backups are routed through a specific 10GB network, considering that the communication between the ComCell and the client currently occurs over a separate 1GB network? Is it possible to prioritize backup traffic to utilize the higher bandwidth network effectively? Best regards,Nikos

Hi,I couldn’t find any crowdstrike best practices I could only find the antivirus exclusions - https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/8665_antivirus_exclusions_for_windows.htmlIs there any specific best practice for crowdstrike? Best regards,

Hi Team, Is there an option to edit/customize the content of the email below regarding notebook backup?  

Hi Team, I saved it as "Save as Script" and Synchronous for 2 separate Windows subclient via Commvault.Let's call them 1.bat and 2.bat.I also created a main.bat and made its content as follows.call 1.batcall 2.batI added Main.bat to the Pre Scan phase in another Windows subclient from the Commvault Console as "C:\CVScript\main.bat".Our expectation was this: main.bat will be triggered by Commvault and first the 1st bat will run, the backup will be completed and then the 2nd bat will run and the backup will be completed. After this, the Pre Scan phase will be completed.Currently, the Pre Scan phase is running, main.bat is running and is completed in 3 seconds, but the 1st and 2nd bats in its content cannot be run. It actually needs to run for about 9 hours.When I manually trigger Main.bat, it works as expected.Does anyone have an idea ?

Anyone have setup a lab Commserve on a virtual box VM. Mine has a very high cpu and memory usage despite no backups running.I wonder if you guys have setup one before and was able to tweak so it does not consume a lot of cpu and memory even when its idleThis is Commvault v11.32 with the latest hotfix pack already.This is running Server 2019 with SQL server 2019 as the SQL backend for Commvaultrunning this on a makeshift virtual box VMThanks for any tips and tricks you can provide

We use Oracle on a Linux servers. The Linux teams installs the Oracle agent for us.All Linux servers are VMware servers. When we check the Java Console. Sometimes we only see the Oracle agent and the other time we see Oracle agent and Virtual server.What is happening here.Perhaps Commvault installs the agent voor VMware/ Oracle application Aware backup?Can anyone help? 

Hi,I found the bellow settings for a couple of Windows File System subclients.After reading https://documentation.commvault.com/11.16/subclient_properties_retention.html. Am I to understand the Minimum retention based on file modification time’s “Retain objects indefinitely” as the objects will never be aged and never get to the Deleted item retention?Eg. if File1 is created and changed and three months later deleted. It will still exist in the store 3 years after deletion time….  

So I`m working on permissions and making sure users only have access to the appropriate entities and interfaces.We are AD Integrated and so all users have access to the “My data” via webconsole which is intended and works fine - Our administrators have access to everything and perform multiple backup operations throughout the day.Since all users (admins and non-admins) are AD integrated, when I go to Command Center and select Domain Users and Restricted Consoles, add CommandCenter, CommCell Console, API etc, and hit ok - our Admins even though they are part of another group without the regular restrictions applied to regular users, they too lose access to the mentioned consoles. It kind makes sense, it applies the most restrictive permission to all Domain Users.Any alternative here to exclude those admins from getting restricted by that Console Restriction within the domain users group?We do not want to create local admin accounts.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/res

Hello Guys :)  @large environments: How do you monitor (proactive) CommVault - CommServe, MediaAgents, xAgents, Jobs, Logs, Dedup Engine/Performance, Alerts, Reports, ... and so on? I've used Nagios with checkmk. But what is the current  "state of the art"? Buzzword AI. For example, I like how Azure is handling all the metrics, and can solve some problems by itself or can give you useful informations, can trigger events/processes, can "learn” - and for example, can create trouble tickets or something similar. Which tool makes your life easier? Grafana? Excited about your feedback(s) :). Cheers!
