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.

Hi, maybe you have an idear: We have clients with 6 or more subclients. The Client is using windows file backup agent.  Al jobs are shown completed and no failed files or folders. But sometimes we getting this message: ERROR CODE [7:331]: High amount of data to be processed in FailedFilesRetry phase is observed with bulk of the data coming from big files that can be more efficiently processed by enabling optimized backups via extent level. 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. And all subclients are very small maybe they have 20Gb inc change rate.

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

Hi everyone,I’ve a problem, After installing Exchange package on Exchange 2016 on-prem server as shown in documentation, I try to add exchange mailbox agent as shown in https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=100566.htm and when i try to add a new application type I get a message “Creating this application type is not supported.

I created a storage policy and changed the storage policy from one of our Postgres clients to this new one storage policy. Storage Policy used for all Archive Log backups from the old one to new one: SP_PJe-2G.  Data Storage Policy from old one to new one: same SP_PJe-2G.  I ran some Incremental jobs, just log backups, and today I realize that during the Full Backup Job there was a comunication between the new MA server cvault-ma-20 and the old one, cvault-ma-02.  This new storage policy has the following Data Path Properties.  The MA server cvault-ma-02 is not a member of the Storage Pool STGPOOL_SC05.Why the new MA server, cvault-ma-20, is talking to the old MA server cvault-ma-02?  ANOTHER QUESTION: 10.1.66.47 is the other MA server on Storage Pool STGPOOL_SC05. I suppose that there is communication between the client and both of two servers because of deduplicating process. In few words can someone tell me what really occurs during a deduplicating backup job in terms of Query and I
