Hi Team,On our Linux server, there are folders named /builds/ in different paths and there are many non-critical files in these folders. We want to exclude all folders that are /builds/ on the server and remove them from the backup.If we define exclude as "***/builds/" in this request, will I achieve my goal? Thanks in advance.

HelloMy VSA proxy server has issues communication with the media agent. cvping works, and also test-netconnection. The media agent has 2 NIC, admin and backup. Admin network is not reachable for the VSA proxy. There are 2 DNS records for the media agent.mediaagent.domain.net and mediaagent.backup.domain.netNot sure if it matters but the media agent is registered in the commcell with the admin hostname, mediaagent.domain.net Anyway we have created DIP and backup networks so the VSA proxy actually tries to connect to the correct IP address. But in cvfwd.log I get the following: ######## ######## Switching fd=952 to non-blocking modeConnecting fd=952 to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403Completing connect() for fd=952Successfully connected to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403=> HTTP/1.1 POST xx.xx.xxx.12:8403ERROR: cvfwd_iot_wait(): Socket READ failed.

Hi Vaulters, We have all our Storage policies Primary copies being backed up to our main backup Disk Library while the data being Deduped. We acquired a new Tape Library and wanted to use it as a storage for secondary copies, i.e., we want to create a secondary copy for each Storage Policy using the Tape Library. Our main concern is the Deduplication, how the secondary copy to Tape handles the Deduplication on the Main disk Library ? Does the Dedupe cause any issue ? Regards.

Review documentation to proceed.Source: XYZ, Process: clBackup (Error Lookup Site: http://kb.commvault.com/#!/?q=%227:331%22) For some subclients it is daily for the subclients its random.

Hello Team,In case of VMware backup in a HPE StoreOnce (backup repository), I’m wondering what’s the recommended method to deploy the MediaAgent.  Be physical or virtual?In case of virtual, I see the advantage to configure VM backups with hotadd.In case of physical, probably you have more security & reliability, but still looking for best practice.Please for your feedback,Nikos
