Copy from disk or tape to different tape.

Hello Good morning,please help, I have a backup of a Hyper-V with Job Id 30030 which backs up about 100 Virtual machines, according to the images attached, I just need to copy the VM Job 30084 (only one machine of the 100), from disk or tape to another tape completely with a different retention this from the console and not from the command center, because according to customer requirements are not used plans. this is the backup job of the hyper-v with the 100 machines 👇 and this is the VM job 30084 from the copy of the virtual machine that I need to send to a completely different tape  👇

Configure Commvault WORM on HYDRAstor with WORM Enabled

Good day All.I am busy with an implementation to configure WORM from Commvault and writing to HYDRAstor. The solution makes use of both Intellisnap and streaming backups.The challenge is that the requirement has requirements for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly retention.What is the best method to configure this?I have seen that the Snap Primary copy and Primary copy needs to have the same retention. How do you cater for the extended retention requirement? Is it possible to enable Extended Retention on the Primary copy or is the only way to create secondary copies for each retention requirement and enable WORM on those copies/storage pools?The challenge with HYDRAstor is to reduce reads as much as possible but when Aux copies run between the copies it initiates reads in order to write to the next copy for the new retention.I understand that the jobs/storage pools can be deleted If any of the copies were configured incorrectly but Support would be required? Any advise will be appreciat

Data Aging when a Full Cycle can not be satisfied anymore and deconfig deleted VMs

Hi Team, i am having issues with Data Aging. Basically the setup is following 30 Days 1 Cycle on on SP7 Days 1 Cycle on another SP Daily Incremental and Weekly Full / Synthetic Full Basically moastly about 2000 VMs which gets destroyed from time to time. As i do not have an impact when the VM is destroyed i can not fullifill the Cycle and some data will never age.  Is there a automatism if a VM is not found anymore and Data “should” age out that the client and all the corresponding Backups are freed up?  thanks

Any way to stop all services using ansible?

I am trying to follow the ansible documentation for ansible request. I am trying to figure out a way to stop the services, it seems that there is only a way to restart them. I cannot figure out where the other actions are listed within the documentation. Can somebody point me in the right direction?  I know that ansible request contacts the API, but I cannot find a references for this command within the API documentation either. I also cannot find documentation for the acceptable parameters within the “payload” parameter. https://github.com/Commvault/ansiblev2#commvault.ansible.request

How to stop all backup activity via API call or some other code?

Is there a way to stop backup activity via an api call or some sort of workflow or python code? I am trying to figure out a way to do this in such a way that I can pass in certain parameters, such as specifying a client, media agent, etc.  Is this something that could possibly be done through a powershell script or an ansible script? or a python script? Is there an easier way to go about this? My goal is to find a way to automate the process of stopping all backup activity for multiple clients, media agents, etc.

Full Backup capacity ?

Hi I have a customer who has multiple sites and now we are looking to replicate those site to the cloud and need to evaluate the bandwidths for each site !Is there a way to generate a report for each site telling us what is the equivalent of a full backup for those sites? I have the Total Application Size and Total Data Size on Disks but I cannot really rely on this since some have 15 days retention and others have 60 days retention ! Is there a report or a way to find this kind of information ?
