Hello Community, #1 Does Commvault provide support for subclient-level software encryption in Intellisnap for VSA VMware (MA/proxy RHEL 8.8)?#2 if it does, is the encryption performed on the MediaAgent, similar to streaming VSA backups.#3 Does the impact on production VM resources is minimized when employing Intellisnap for VMware with subclient encryption enabled?#4 Also, does enabling Commvault's software encryption result in approximately a 5-10% increase in CPU usage during snap backup? thanks

I have a question about the Shared Job Results folder as used by Office365 sharepoint.Here is my setup:2 access nodes, call them N1 and N2Both Access nodes have a Job results folder set to its own local local dedicated drive which is 150GB in size. In the Sharepoint client I have configured a shared job results folder on a CIFs share that is 1 TB in size and both N1 and N2 are added as access nodes successfully.  Here is the issue:When I perform a backup of sharepoint I notice the access nodes local job results drives get used and fill up causing some failures of sites and subsites in the backup. I notice the shared folder barely gets used, but it does get used. The error reported for the failed sites is “Space Control Job level timeout 60 minutes”Am I missing something, do I need to manually point the 2 access nodes Job results directories to use the shared folder manually as well? Or do I just need to grow the local drives. I am not

Hello,I have backup of clustered file severer (WSFC). In Commvault it is represented by “cluster client”.I plan to convert my clustered fileserver to standalone fileserver and preserve server network name.Could you please suggest best options how to deal with Commvault client? Maybe there is way how to convert virtual client to regular client and preserve all backup history and name?Thank you!

Hello community,I try to find a way to migrate / move an Index Server from Node A to Node B (different Server).The Index Server has o365 data, so I cant wait to expire and also need them in order to run next backup jobs (from Node B). Any idea how to implement it?Thank you in advance,Nikos

I did ccm work after Commcell migration and I'm trying to recover using data from the mediaDo I need to check other Compell Reuse Media options to read them?Does enabling this option affect the data inside the tape? 

Hello,How do I get passed the 10000 object limit when doing a browse or job summary report?On the report it’s onlu allowing max 10000 lines, and in browse I can only see the firs 10000 objects, the other 3252 I have no idea on how I can see or select. Anyone have an idea? Surely I shoulden’t have to contact support about it.//Henke  

I am working on using some pre/post scripts for a few linux docker servers and require to change the elevation.I have a previously setup subclient where I am able to utlize the “root” elevation but when I try to change that in the new subclient- I get this … weird message Where is this set? I can kind of bypass it in the command center- but not enough to where I can move on. Curious as to what FR enabled this :

Hello All. I’ve hardware refreshed a commserve on a new host. Build 11.32.23. I’ve installed a new media agent also at 11.32.23 and duplicated the packages installed in the old media agent it is eventually replacing. The old media agent has “Exchange Mailbox (Classic) ida” installed and is visible under the client in the commcell browser.  The new media agent has ‘Exchange’ package installed; this is visible in the ‘properties > version’ tab. In the commcell console, commcell browser, under the client for the new media agent, I see some ida’s (fs ida, VSA ida) but not any Exchange ida. In the properties of the new media agent client, I select the option to release licenses, just to see what licenses are consumed, there is only fs and vsa. When I run an install software job for the new client, “Exchange” is greyed out so there is no ability to install.  Though the customer is not using the exchange classic agent any longer, backup activity is disabled on the subclients for it, the

Hi. At the moment we have commvault backups setup to backup NAS SMB shares. For that we have Windows VM as Data Access Node.Do we need to setup another Data Access node (linux based) to be able to backup NAS NFS shares, or is there a way to use existing Windows VM Data Access Node?I inherit commvault from another team and didn’t get much training on it, so consider me a newbie. ;)

Hello everyone, I'm seeking guidance and advice on configuring the replication of a Poweri server with Linux to another server using Commvault. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Questions:What are the best practices for configuring Commvault for Poweri server replication with Linux? Are there specific considerations we should be aware of when setting up replication on Poweri servers? What aspects of Commvault should we configure to ensure effective replication? Are there any specific Commvault documentation or resources you recommend for this scenario?Any suggestions, experiences, or advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and support!

Good day peeps, I would like to discuss immutable storage and the need of off-prem 3rd copy :)Having immutable storage with both primary and secondary copies in on-prem storage is well and good from a perspective of faster restores. But they are still on-prem. So there is connectivity, own DC’s, thus meaning that if I have access - someone else can have access. Would that be a hack at software level or access gained inside the DC physically, or some disasters to our own DC’s.We could help manage connectivity aspect with air-gapping that CV has described with it’s workflows or scripts, other set back of that is that copy could take few or more hours to finish, depeding on size of the data.. If you are doing such air-gapped copy daily - you are frequently open. If you are doing such copy 1 a week - you are open for long period of time if your data to copy is not small.From all of the above, 3rd copy seems quite needful? What w

How can we backup CIFS shares directly from a storage appliace using Commvault . We use Hyperscales appliances as Mediaagents for all of our storage policies. Until now we were using NDMP backups for these shares but now are moving away from Netapp.

Hello All.I’m a bit confuse about the DDB usage on Cloud Archive storage. From the Cloud Storage Building Block documentation…https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/139246_combined_storage_tier.htmlhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/139247_archive_storage_tier.html...we can see Deduped and non-deduped are allowed. But from the Cloud Storage Best Practices it is strongly not recommended:DDB Backup on CloudMake sure that the cloud storage library does not have an Archive Object Storage class selected. DDB backups are not recommended on Archi

Hi, Anyone have any idea on what is the limitation on number of VMs per subclient can be configured?Regardless of number of readers/writers available, this is for VMware environment. I couldnt find any information on BOL nor Google.  Thanks and regards,Lee

We currently have an 3 tier architecture with Vmware 7.0 and vcenter 7.0 with the commvault deployed in the VM.The Backups are running smoothly without environment. We are in the process of purchasing Vxrail and would be moving all our VMs from the old 3 tier architecture to new VxRail Appliance.We want to ensure all our existing Commvault backups and jobs and schedules configured with the old vCenter are successfully migrated to the new vCenter running on VxRail.How do we proceed with this

 AADSTS700082 = The refresh token has expired due to inactivity. Getting this error when running “Verify connection” on several Teams backup tenants.How can the tokens become “inactive”?The refresh procedure for the Teams token is a pain, at least in our case.We either need to have a remote session with the customer and log in with our admin credentials in their environment, and have the customer enter their global admin.. Or they need to log in to a remote session into our env and enter their global admin credentials..None of our customers give us their global admin credentials, because we don’t want to request it, and in our experience the customers are hesistant if the subject is brought up.Even with contracts specifying that we'll only use our access for the backup service, it's impossible to guarantee 100% that individuals won't have malicious intent or make mistakes.It’s a big ask.So is there anoth

Hi,I understand that Commvault only backs up (User / Group / Shared) Exchange Online Mailboxes with a Microsoft mailbox license assigned.Is this correct? If this is correct, is there a possibility to automatically exclude from backup all (User / Group / Shared) Mailboxes without a Microsoft mailbox license, so that for once in a lifetime the Exchange Online backup can complete succesfully without any mentioning of failed / skipped mailboxes?Thank you so much!

We found a few clients that did not have a plan so we were not getting a message that it wasmissing backups. Is there a report that would give us this info? or is there a way to know?Thank you -
