Self-Hosted Q&A

Hello, Over the last few months, we have adapted the Command Center so that our customers can now set up and carry out backups independently. Agent is offered via the Download Center. Installation and assignment to the corresponding company is carried out via the AuthCode. It all works so far. Only if the customer wants to create a user for backing up a database, for example, do we receive the following message:Failed to verify user [eos\SVC_IMVPMS5J_SQL_RW] for instance [imvpms5j]. Verify that services are online and with the correct user name and password.If I then enter the same data via the console as an admin, it will be saved and the backup can be carried out.Has anyone had these problems or is it possible that the permissions are not yet correct? Who might have a little more experience in this area and could help me here?RegardsThomas

I have some questions:I am currently using 3 CommCell in my system. Suppose I copy backup files from HPE StoreOnce A (Data Center) to HPE StoreOnce B (Data Center) through Storage Policy. The question is, if the entire system at the Data Center encounters a failure, how can I restore the files and VMs that have been backed up from HPE StoreOnce B. If the CommServe is located in the Data Center, can I use a different CommServe at the Disaster Recovery (DR) site for the restoration process? Please kindly send me instructions for registering a new customer. Is this registration possible before I have the license file

Hello, we use cv11.28.83I have the following question: I have activated the option “Index files after backup” on a vm group in a vcenter client. After the backup was finished a file indexing job is started. I must determine the status of the job. (completed, completed with errors or failed .... )  My question, is a report available on commcell console or webconsole which can show me the status of the finished “File Indexing” Jobs?  regards Roland   

I have a VSA subclient that has a Group defined for the proxies but when I watch the jobs it appears that only the first proxy in the group is being used. Several other subclients with different proxy groups appear to be exhibiting the same behaviour.This wouldn’t be so bad except that I ran into a problem where the first proxy in the group could not communicate but the backup kept trying to use that proxy instead of attemempting the job with another proxy in the group.

Hi, I backup Databases hosted on a Microsoft CLuster I created the Microsoft pseudo client and add a SQL instance on it. I also backup each Microsoft node through the filesystem agent.I have enabled System state on each node.The default subclient backup only the C and local drives.I created another subclient on each node, but I can specify the disks presented by storage only on the active node. What is the correct way to backup the remote disks present on the Active node.Those disks are presented by a Storage and have their letters R,S,TIf a failover occurs, those disk are owned by the remaining node.  I tried to add a subclient at FIle System agent on the cluster it self, but it backups only the quorum disk and it gaves an error message. Thanks for your help !

We are running a POC for seeding an AWS S3 bucket which will act as DASH target. For the seeding of data, we are using the AWS Snowball device. We have two goals in POC,Seed the OnPrem backup data to AWS S3 using Snowball device and ship it to AWS. Once seeded to S3 bucket, test restores from S3 and also validate the next DASH job to S3 only transfers unique data after deduping. Copy the DASH data from S3 to Snowball Device, ship the device to On-Prem. Perform restores from the Snowball device.We have successfully completed the first part of the POC and need to initiate the second phase. But before shipping the snowball device to AWS, we ran a data verification job on the Snowball to confirm all the seeded DASH jobs are in readable state. The job failed since Commvault was unable to read any data from the Snowball device, and we were getting read errors. We opened case with CV Support, and after confirming there was no issue with Commvault, we engag

Good Morning! I read the documentation on restoring Teams content: Teams (commvault.com) It states for private chats: “To back up these items, use either an Exchange Online app or a OneDrive for Business app.”Unfortunately, I didn’t find any more details on the subject. Could you tell me where the private chats are backed up and how can I restore them? Thank you,Zoltan
