Can anyone explain  to me what is the difference between “Duplicate” and “Restore out of place” for oracle databases? Isn’t it the same thing? It does restore data from a specific backup to a specific server/oracle instance. I still can’t undestand when to use one option over the other. Thanks to anyone that can explain.

Hello, I have a small understanding question about a SQL DB restore out of place. If the target database already has instances running with different names and I do a restore of another database, will the data or the instance on the target system be deleted or overwritten or will it only add the new instances on the target system ?

Hello I’m working on an application to capture all clients in an environment and assess their backup status. So far I’m getting stuck on capturing all the clients in the environment. I see there are multiple endpoints that I have to hit to capture all the items and I’m wondering if there is a catchall endpoint for this OR if there’s not, what could be the best way to go about this process?Endpoints I’ve touched so far:/Clients/Clients/VSAclientlist/Clients/VMPseudoClient Any assistance would be appreciated

Hi team,Getting the below error even though the Subclient has been deleted:  What are the right steps to get a mount path removed and its associated Storage pool and policy deleted?When I tried to delete it from the Storage pools, got the below error:  on reviewing the logs, found the below entries:  

Recently our system administrator have changed the root password of one of the linux servers. the readiness status of the server becomes [Not Ready] with message is [Communication failure between Client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the MediaAgent xxxx.xxx.com.

Hello!Can anyone tell me which logs I should start with when troubleshooting the issue that cache won’t update? this is an MS365 Exchange Online backup job.Should I use the logs on the index/access node or the commserve server, or both, and what are the logs called?I am not getting a “wrong password” error, and I have checked that MFA is disabled for the service account.  

Hi,the customer wants to backup some clients through a gateway. We did the configuration of gateway client and network topology.The main problem is that the customer wants only Commserve to communicate with clients through proxy. Backup was failing because there was no communication to media agent as the customer picked only myCommserve group in the network topology. So we did share paths from media agent to the Commserve. It was still failing because the client couldn’t reach DDB on media agent. So then we have changed deduplication from ‘On Client’ to ‘on Media Agent’. Now the buckup is running but never ends. It stucked on 25%.  Can we configure backup through a proxy but allow only Commserve to communicate with the client by using share mount paths to Commserve?If not is there any other way to meet customers requirements? Regards,Lukasz

Hi Team, I have an issue with an intended Unix client install.Filesystem agent only. We unfortunately have port 8400 occupied by other software, so I need to install to a different port.However, I don’t see where i can over-ride 8400 with my intended port. And for whatever reason, I can no longer find detailed instructions on the Unix\Linux install process.I’m not a Unix admin, so probably like quite a few of us, it would be helpful if there was more detail on available options. Bottom line, can someone advise how, or where I can provide a different port during a local install (I have a Unix tech available to assist). Thanks

🤣 Have a great weekend everyone… 😊 

So we utilize qlogin to execute various scripts, but at times members of our backup team run into an issue where they see this error message if someone is currently logged in: Error 0x23f: Another user to the same commserver has already logged in, please logout from that and then retry. Instead of running a qlogout -all command, is there an easy way to verify who the currently logged in user is?

Hello,I have added two snapshots here that show the setup before and after the .net update. The problem I have is that the web server no longer works after the update. That's why I wanted to ask if I need to update anything besides the hosting bundle to get the web server up and running again. Even restarting Tomcat or iisreset didn't help after the update. RegardsThomas installed .net package “Hosting Bundle” before Update .Net after Update

Have a customer who configured NDMP with FSXn.  Backups complete but are slow.  While attempting to find documentation related to this process I came across this preso from CPR2023 where its explicitly stated we dont support NDMP.  BOL also doesnt show NDMP as supported yet the customer has this functioning at least successfully. So question is, do we are dont we support NDMP for FSXn?Link with supported agents showing CIFS and NFS but not NDMP.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/157291_supported_agents_for_amazon_fsx_for_netapp_ontap.html
