Hi Team,Our M365 Backup environment is in AWS.Access Node + Media Agent and index server are built in DMZ account in AWSand our S3 Bucket are in Share services account in AWS.When backup runs it casues egress charges for moving data from DMZ to shared service account.To mitigate this egress changes we are thinking to move the Access Node + MA and Index server from DMZ account to Share services account in AWS.Rquest you to please help me how we should perfom this migration activity from Commvault end. Regards Rahul Raina 

Hello,  I have a problem with commvault not been able to delete file on client after archiving job, in subclient properties i did set “Delete the files” after Archiving. When i manually start the job the file gets backup but it stays in folder on client. everything i could find is the event code 19:2325  (NumberOfFilesProcessed = [0], NumberOfFilesArchived = [0], NumberOfFilesSkippedForRedundancyCheck = [0]. TotalNumberOfFilesSkipped[0].) Can anyone help me with this problem? 

Hi together,currently we are trying to move operation from Commcell Console to Command Center.In the case of a SQL-Server restore we discovered that it is not possible to restore the SQL system databases (model/master/msdb) with the Command Center.In the Commvault Console we have the “Include System Databases” tick-box in the advanced restore options … but there are no advanced restore options in the Command Center.There is an additional setting named “bEnableAdvancedRestoreOptionsMSSql” … but this seems to serve a different purpose.Do I miss something?Thank you.Regards.Michael

Hi Team,I am getting below error when try to configure the linux fs backup:Error Code: [68:574]Description: Required media version [11.28] with transaction Id [4489590] is missing in the Software Cache. CommServe may be installed with a lower version media. Please check the media in Software Cache and try updating the CommServe before updating clients.I don’t see a software cache or folder anywhere? TBH I don’t know what the error message wants to exactly convey so I can look for the requirement.

Hello,I am in the process of migrating to a new disk library. For all the Storage Policies I have created new corresponding copies for each site.The current Primary (1) and Synchronous (2) copies have a 30 day basic and 90 day full weekly retention configured.I now created 2 new copies but since I am writing to WORM storage I have configured the retention for both the new copies with 90 day basic retention. My issue is that not all the jobs are being copied. Only the first 4.The rest of the jobs have a status of “To be Copied & Disabled”. What does this mean?How can I get them automatically copied?Should I select the option “Pick for Copy” on all the required jobs? Thanks.Ignes  

Hello Team,Our environment we are using two Commserve active/standby with livesync feature. The commserve using DNS floating option for common name.The clients are showing Commserve or Gateway hostname is active node instead of common Commserve name.While performing failover to another commserve will get another active host name.Is it will change manually in all the clients or any options to modify. Please advise.

Hi Team,I have configured MongoDB backup and successfully run Full backup. When I want to run incremental backup there is no option for incremental backup.

Hi,I have one GPFS pseudo client. The backup is directly going to tape, whenever there is no scratch media in the library, the backup is going to pending state instead of waiting state whereas I can see other tape backups going to waiting state.If I suspend and resume the job, it is resumed but still the backup is running more than the total number of file and size. 

New load of CommVualt 2022E,  System marked all of the brand new tapes as Retired Media, How do I get it set as usable Spare Media.  Have used older versions of CommVault but not the newer ones.

Hello everyone,As per, https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/101313_cloud_mediaagent_power_management.html 1. How many maximum Proxy servers’ power can be managed using 1 Cloud controller(2CPU, 2GB RAM)? (Minimum shall be 1, would like to know the Maximum)2. Is the contributor role required for the Cloud controller or Proxy servers or the client servers? Since the cloud controller is the one who would be managing the power status of other servers, it should be for the Cloud Controller and not some other servers. Please clarify. Grateful for any insights BR

Basically the title.  I have a bunch of HotAdd servers that have the MediaAgent software installed. Do I need to have the MediaAgent software installed?  We have IntelliSnap running to back up the VMs on the vSphere As a bonus question, these HotAdd VMs also have the file system agent installed.  How do I uninstall just that software?  Or will I need to uninstall Commvault software completely and reinstall Commvault? 

Hi, When installing Commserve a SQL Server is installed too. There is a license limitation for SQL Server as per documentation:For SQL Server 2019, the license is limited to 4 sockets or 24 cores, whichever is less.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/132365_commserve_server_system_requirements_linux.htmlCustomer wants to reuse existing hardware and to install Commserve Server role on it. This server has a processor with 32 cores on it. It is my understanding that SQL Server will be limited to 24 cores, but would this be a license violation to install it on a machine with more then 24 cores? What can we expect? Regards

Hello,Does the following vulnerability affects the Commvault ? Is there a fix for this CVE-2020-1938 Vulnerability ? I couldn't find any information about it in the documentation Best regards,  

Hi Team,We are configuring Storage policies and including Tape for auxiliary.Please find the below requirement. Requirement 1: First storage policy will configure Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly schedule for disk and then only Weekly, monthly & Yearly will go to auxiliary copy of tape.Requirement 2: Second storage policy will configure Monthly (keep disk) and that is no need for auxiliary copy.Our Clarifications:Is it will configure separate schedules for Weekly, monthly & Yearly? After retention of backup, the data will delete from disk without auxiliary copy (requirement2).Please advise.

Hi All, i have an short question regarding the exchange online mailbox backup.  The companay decided to activate the Micorostf Archive feature for Mails.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/in-place-archiving/manage-archives?view=exchserver-2019&viewFallbackFrom=exchonline-ww So every mails wich are older than 180days should be moved to the archive.  Is there any impact to our Backup ? My opionion is not because we are running every 4 hours an backup and when a new mail is dected the mail would be backuped directly and is saved on the backup storage, When now the Micorosft archive policy is moveing the mail it doesnt belong to commvault. The Backups are incr 4 ever so no impact.  is that correct ?
