Successful Full backup of FS backup not included all the files

We are running Ubuntu Full FS backup for a client with Backup size ~18TB with ~100+ Crore numbers of files. Which is successful but the backed up date size is only ~9TB. Backup completed without any errors or warnings. There is no exclusions in the sub client content.When we are trying to restore most of the directory are showing empty which is not actually empty in the client server. Can someone suggest why this is happening ?

Edit body for scheduled report.

I’m looking for a way to edit the outgoing mail from a scheduled report, somthing like for the alert emails.It doesen’t seem it’s possible, i’ve looked in both the console and webconsole.I guess it’s possible with a workflow, but the learning curve for that seems very steep. I’ve tried it but abandonded it due to lack of skills/understanding.Another way is to use powershell to send the email and fetch the report from a local destination. But if it’s kept in Commvault it would be administrativly easier, maybe.The reason for this is that our Incident system use some XML to configure incidents.Anyone have any idea?//Henke

Copying an old backup from Disk Library to S3

I am currently facing a problem. We have removed the full backup from our FileServer backup before a migration attempt that went wrong in 2021 with an extension of the retention period. This backup is currently on our backup storage. This backup storage is to be replaced this year and I would like to copy these full backups to our object storage. Using another Selective Copy, I cannot select these jobs from the Primary Policy for a copy.  We are currently still using Commvault 11.20.30.Is there any other way to do this ?

Media in Library (tape)

Hi there,Having an issue with a client where their tape media is not being seen by Commvault. In the process of renewing support, but it’s rather urgent so wanted any troubleshooting tips in the meantime. They’ve reset the library, done various scans, recreated the client with a different name, and tinkered on the library itself (HP autoloader w/ LTO-7) to confirm the tapes are seen by that.Tapes show up on the autoloader fine, but aren’t being seen by CV, still missing “Media in Library”.What could be the issue? Any tips are appreciated :)

Error 91:465 - Unable to connect to vCenter server

We have a primary commserve and vcenter. We have multiple sites each with a physical media agent, esxi servers and netapp as storage. The media agents talk back to the primary vcenter to back up the local vm’s at each site. For some reason jobs started failing at one site, it was working before but now I am seeing the following error: Error Code: [91:465]Description: Unable to connect to vCenter server [VCENTER] as user [CVSERVICEACCOUNT] from access node [REMOTEMEDIAAGENT]. [Unable to connect to the remote server]Source: REMOTEMEDIAAGENT, Process: vsdiscoveryNow from this remote media agent, I am literally able to log into the vcenter using the service account. So this does not make any sense why every job is failing with the above error message. Does anyone know what I can check or do to help resolve this?

HiDo we have an object lock feature in commvault other than WORM.We are planning to send auxiliary copies to Cloud(AWS). We are under the assumption that by enabling object lock feature on S3 bucket. The Data Aging will be interrupted or the data cannot be expired properly.Is this assumption correct? If yes, what is the other way to make the data immutable.

After upgrade to 11.28 - Command Center is showing inaccurate Information

Noob alert! Hi everyone, I hope you`re all doing well 🙂!We upgraded from 11.25 to 11.28 and since the Upgrade, the Command Center(Web-Admin) is showing inaccurate information. Here You have some examples: We have more than 80 Laptops using Commvault.  Here it showing “0”.This Error Message comes when we go to “Dashboard”.If we open any of the “Server groups”, they all show “Server group \ Infrastructure” and all Laptops. In CommCell everything looks in order. In CommCell we can see our Commvault server is part of the Server Plan, while in the Command Center we only see “No associations defined”Also searching Users or Laptops over any “search-box” is not working and more. Does anyone has an idea, what this issue could be? Any suggestions or thoughts please? » Extra Info: Health Report Show this as “Critical” thou I do not know if I should trust it. Here it shows “Last DB Maintenance: Jul 17, 2015” . We started to use Commvault last year. Thanks in advance for your time and help!
