We made in the past a HW SNAP, and copied the SNAP to Tape, where we have the Data now.When i start the Browse, open the Information store, all DBs have the Size 0kb, but that should be normal in this case.After i selected a DB file and started the recover database job, it goes instantly fail without doing anything. (Same when i start Mailbox Recovery)I know you need a lot more informations - which one should i provide you additionally?Thank you guys!Because of that short job runtime, we have also nothing helpful in the logs: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Machine : atsw-cvltcs01File    : JobManager.log@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@14904 5bd8  03/01 09:51:54 15169823 CVTHREADSTART newRstRequestThread(void *inArgs) Got userId [189] in request.14904 5bd8  03/01 09:51:54 15169823 Servant    [---- IMMEDIATE RESTORE

Hi Folks,I am trying to install Commvault 11.34 Trial on Windows 2019 Server. However, in the final stage of the installation process, Commvault is asking for the SQL Server sa user password. After changing the sa password several times using SQL server management studio, checking if the user logging is enabled, etc.. it’s still returning as invalid password. NOTE: The SQL server was installed by Commvault 11.34 installation package.How can I fix this issue?Thanks  

Is there a way to enable the Root User on a Hyperscale 1.5 node from command line? It was disabled when we deleted the storage pool and I was unaware we cannot run the umount command as the cvbackupadmin user.  

 Hello, please, I need your help. I'm trying to add an ENDPOINT with Linux Mint 21.1 operating system locally, and when I try to install it, I get the following error. In the Commvault documentation, Linux Mint 21.1 is not listed as a supported operating system. However, I wanted to know if someone managed to install it or how I could proceed since the client only uses that operating system.

Hello I have CS in 11.30.23 and MA in 11.30.52 (they both physical servers - windows 2012R2)and I want to upgrade to 11.32 version and the SQL you can see in the image that I attach below:Can I do the upgrade directly ?or maybe I need to upgrade the windows from 2012R2 to windows 2016?Thank you very much :)

CV 11.32.43Recently upgraded from 28 to 32 and immediately noticed more than a single backup job running for the same snapshot.A little more context -  Run a full snapshot job on a VCenter Client, then a Backup Copy. Job started no problem.Few hours later, the automatic scheduled kicked in and another backup copy job on top of the one I started manually started as well (two running simultaneously for the same snap) - the new job, picked the VMs that were still waiting on the first job. While looking at the FR11.32 documentation I found the link below. Can someone confirm that this is correct link for what I`m experiencing?https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/managing_backups_based_on_snapshot_retention.htmlIf so, the article mentioned additional setting keys at the CommCell or Client / Group level which were never entered, would this be automatically turned on after the upgrade?Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks,First, many thanks for the information here. I’ve solved a lot of issues just reading answers found here.Ok, here’s the rundown. We changed the Commcell service account password on the AD side. We thought we went into Commcell Console and updated the credential there. Everything was working fine, until a short time later and now we cannot login using our AD account (If I’m reading correctly, is that because the service account can no longer connect to the AD for an LDAP lookup?)Looking into the EvMgrS.log I can see this entry### EvSecurityMgr::userLogin() - processAdUser returned [-105], "Failed to connect to the domain server. Please contact Commcell administrator to check domain service credentials."### EvSecurityMgr::userLogin() - Socket [0x0000000000001264]: LOGIN ERROR: Invalid login/password attempt with UserName [domain\user] from [server], Attempt [1/3]### ::sendResponse() - FAILED [Failed to connect to the domain server. Please contact Commcell administrator to check

Hello all!We are trying to create a group in Commvault for all hosts which have backup activity disabled.We do have found this setting: But a problem is that if machine contains agent backup types “inside” itself and backup is disbaled on agent level it won't show in this group. For example - if server SVR001 contains SQL and File System backup and we will disable ONLY File System backup on SVR001 it wont show in group which will be configured as screenshot above shows. My question is - how to show all disabled backups? No matter if backup is disabled at Client Level, or at agent level.

Looking for some input on the use of Data Access Nodes when backing up NFS shares.I noticed during a backup failure that my Proxy 1 in this case was down and backups went into a pending state. However there are several over proxies also available for the job as shown. So it is my understanding that the job will NOT go the list and pick the next one available. How do I make sure that Commvault uses the next available proxy on the list if first one or any of them fails?Can you point me to the right documentation where it talks about the failover for those nodes since I could not locate one?Thanks

Customer wants to recover a calender item from an Exchange Database.But the recovered object has now the message icon and got the message class ID.The documentation only mentions “messages” but doesn’t list “not supported” message class items.So, it would be great to get some feedback and maybe even the documentation updated to make it easier for other user to find. kind regardsJoerg

We have large RDS SQL server in our environment and currently backup is not using multifile option and backup is very slow. I check the AWS documentation, it says that for large large database it support multifile backups.Importing and exporting SQL Server databases using native backup and restore - Amazon Relational Database Service Amazon S3 has a size limit of 5 TB per file. For native backups of larger databases, you can use multifile backup. example:Example of multifile backup exec msdb.dbo.rds_backup_database @source_db_name='mydatabase', @s3_arn_to_backup_to='arn:aws:s3:::mybucket/backup*.bak', @number_of_files=4; My question is Does Commvault support (v11.32) multifile backup for RDS SQL server. Best Regards

Hello all,I have personal and shared folders on my file server. These folders contain different types of files. I want to archive files that haven't been accessed for 2 years by creating shortcuts, and I want to delete files that haven't been accessed for more than 4 years without creating shortcuts. I want to perform these actions across the entire file server, but I also want to exclude some subfolders where I may need to apply different policies based on user requests. How can i achieve this scenario? Any comment will be appreciated.
