Hi we are currently using platform release .28 but was wondering how we can go too platform release .30 

Hello All, Does having the ~ key in folder name hide the folder from being backed up? For example “~new folder”. I am looking at doing a restore of a file in a folder that has that character in the name. Thanks!

I am configuring new Library and would like to know how can i move my data with infinite retention to new Library. 

Good Day Community,I have a customer that has been using Content Indexing for several years. Now we want to move to the newest Indexing methodology using the NEW Index Server.I know there is absolutely no migration path from one to another. But luckily, the customer has all the backup data sitting on disk. So my strategy is simply to re-index the data using the new methodology, in a new Index Server. I should end up having the same results doing a search since all the will be re-ingested.Is there something else I should be aware of? Or is this the best approach to achieve this?Many thanks in advance for your input.

Hi, I’m looking for some clarification on backup and retention of Onedrive version history. If I’ve understood the backup correctly it will only back up the latest version of an object at every run. As described https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/130942_backups_for_onedrive_for_business.htmlWhat is the reasoning for this limitation? Retention is configured to be kept for a certain time, say 6 months after deletion, how does this affect the version history? Is versions removed from retention 6 months after being overwritten by a new version, or are they removed when the last version of a file is removed?  Regards,John Robert

Good morning, We have 2 sets of databases that need to by in sync in terms of their refresh times.  I’ll call them “ERP” and “APPS”.  The “ERP” databases will remain on Oracle for some time, but the “APPS” we are moving to MS SQL. We currently use Oracle with ZFS to snap development refreshes on a periodic but sometimes changing schedule. We have this entire process automated via OS scripts that check for a trigger, and when found, consume this “trigger” file and proceed with the recreates, which dump and reload development users and permissions during the process.The “APPS” db has ~ 100 schemas, and our plan is to convert these into 100 MS SQL databases.  After this DB is migrated, I need to have them refreshed on a known but sometimes changing schedule.I’ve read the thread here which explains more or less how to script the refreshes:

I'm investigating if we could blend in Activate FSO to fulfill an archiving use-case, but according to the documentation it seems Activate FSO does not allow you to pick the results and perform an archive action. The documentation only refers to  (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.22/expert/118724_moving_files_in_file_storage_optimization.html) the ability to move, delete or tag the data. Is this correct? And if that is the case then what's the reason that

So we’ve been having issues with the DR site’s CV backup.  I’ve managed to access the COMMVAULT instance in management studio, to see these lovely notes:… and:This is a system that I’ve inheirited and still learn new things about every other day.  My best thought here is that I simply need to nuke and repave (rebuild) this entire CV server.  It’s not the end of the world and would be a good learning experience for me.   But I have to ask - is there a faster way?  I really don’t think just backing up the main site’s DB and recreating everything here can be trusted (different server names, etc.) This is CV 2022 (11.28.x) running on server 2022.  Based on being CV v11.28, you

Hi,Can we restore table to the same database with granular restore option ?Regards

Hi,why it is not possible to restore a single ms sql table to the original database? (not to the database which is created while for browse / recovery point) found this community post which is also not “solved” imo. tested with 11.24 & 11.28.latest

Is there any way to determine where the bottleneck is if CommVault is supposed to be writing data to tapes, but the tape library indicates “the tapes are idle” a lot? My throughput is not great on some of these tape jobs (multiple streams, and multiples... but 50 GB/hr or less on some of them) yet they have TB’s of data to write.  I have heard of a possible “the drives are spinning up and down, wasting time" as a possibility… is there a way to see why CommVault would not be continually writing data, especially if it has multiple streams that are showing “some throughput” in the Java UI, and how one “makes sure commvault is writing data to tape as fast as it can?  I have tried adding more multiplex to the tape job this month and it did not help. 

can i move to version 11.30.57 from 11.28.76 as when i try to install this version it does not let me install it.

Hi,i have created a new V2 Virtual Server Agent sublient to backup my vCenter VMs.I miss this option like you see at the screenshot.In my V1 Virtual Server Agent i see this option.Is this normal? I set this option because i backup my fileserver and i want to have the possibility to restore single files from tape. Collect File DetailsSelect this option to collect file and folder information as part of streaming backups and IntelliSnap backup copies. Use this option when creating a copy for tape storage, because file and folder information is required when recovering files from tape.RegardsDennis
