How to configure backup policy in commvault such that daily incremental are taken to different set of tapes where as weekly full to another set and the monthly full to another set.Please note the primary copy goes to disk backup and the auxiliary copy is to the tape.

HiIs there a report I can run that shows how many Terabytes of space the V1 Indexes use on a MagLibBehind the question are other questions By moving from V1 to V2, what typical Maglib savings could be made I am aware that V2 ‘bundles’ the V2 Transaction Logs with each Job - so there is still an ‘Index Element being stored on the Maglib with each job  Also the V2 Index database gets copied to the Maglib and that tales up space Overall is there a guestimate range of ‘savings’ when moving from V1 to V2 Indexing(Assume 100% VM’s and no file or DB agents)

Hello Guyshere at the organization, we are starting a new Project to Decommission the On-Premise Environment and migrate to the Cloud. We have VmWare Servers that are in my On-Premise Environment and we will migrate to GCP. Restore, out of place for GCP run successfully?    

Our CommVault instance uses Nimble storage for data backup. When CommVault tries to backup VM, it tells vCenter to take a snapshot of this VM. After snapshot is created by vCenter, CommVault backup it.At the same time we have Nimble replication process. When Nimble discovers a new snapshot (created by CommVault), it puts the snapshot in the queue for the replication.When CommVault finishes backup, it tells vCenter to delete snapshot. But if the replication of the snapshot was not finished, Nimble replication process prevents snapshot being deleted. At the same time vCenter does not generate any failure for the CommVault.At the very end:-          CommVault does not repeat an attempt to delete because it does not know that this attempt failed (I tried to decrease nExpireSnapshotHours pa

Hello community,For an Azure VM restore, in order to archive better SLA RTO, is there any way to increase number of streams?I see that only 1 stream is present as default for every VM restore job. Please for your feedback,Nikos

Hello, is there a way to automatically disable disabled AD users in Commvault as well? Best would be to delete it automatically after a time, as well as delete users as well. Is it possible to automate this?In an environment with a lot of dynamic users some users are not active in AD anymore but active in Commvault. If such a user is known and has higher rights, it could be reactivated oder recreated by an attacker in AD and used covertly. We would like to prevent this possibility. As discussed here (User Group properties - AD groups user not removed after removing | Community (commvault.com)), we like to delete the user from the User list overwiew, not from the ad group association which is refreshed an every login attemp as i understand. Additionally, an idea of

Hello to all!I read some similar threads about Encrypting Network Traffic, but Im a little bit confused.A customer wants to know if the Commvault backup installation (11.28) has by default Network encryption over HTTPS between CS / MAs / clients?I need to clarify if encryption over network traffic for Commvault Servers are enabled by default, at this point I don’t care about Encrypting backup data.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/134328_enabling_encryption_in_commcell.htmlPlease for your feedback,Nikos

Hi!I would like to set this alert for triggering when the CURRENT BACKUP SIZE exceeds 200 GB. But I didnt find any info on how can I specify the unit in the value field of a Token Criteria Selection step.

Use case:I have enabled Object lock on the Cloud storage bucket (Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3)).Enabled WORM on Commvault and set the retention for the storage policy.Result: Once the data is backed up I am able to delete the data manually in the Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) bucket.Does Commvault does not leverage Object lock ?Also Can we enable Object lock on Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (HCPCS) and WORM on Commvault or its Either or case. 

I need to understand and unable to find a good documentation on the differences between the terms: Difference between Storage policy, storage pool, data path, mount path , Libraries ? How are they related ?

We are following instructions from below page to enable WORM we could not see the WORM option does compliance lock mean WORM lock: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/157130_enabling_worm_storage_and_retention_for_cloud_storage.htmlAlso in the supported agents we have Hitachi Content Platform (HS3) Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) In the Commcell browser we could not edit properties for Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) but could edit fo

Is it fair to say, The "Commvault Client Monthly Growth" report typically refers to the growth of data being backed up by Commvault clients over a specified period. In general, the "Commvault Client Monthly Growth" report should include data from all clients being backed up by Commvault, regardless of the location or data center?

Hi All,What happens if a bad person becomes an admin on the CommServe server and change the server date forward 2 years? We can consider this for Media Agent as well.In general, a bad person could log into the servers and do this and what would happen ? Will the backups be deleted because the retention period has expired ?

Hello, We want to enable Client Side Encryption on Commvault. Does we need to install a Commvault Agent on the Client ? Best Regards!

I get worried questions regarding protecting Teams and the payment models that Microsoft has implemented for Teams APIs. It seems as some backup vendors are avoiding backing up some Teams components to not put the customer in a situation where they will get billed by Microsoft. I have not been able to find any information about this in the Commvault documentation and I do not know the current status of this situation. Does anyone have some feedback on this.  /Patrik

Hi Community,Trying to log into cloud.commvault.com today and getting the following:  It looks like there may be an upgrade / migration happening. Is there a way that these changes / updates can be communicated with a message prior? 

I am currently replacing all of the Windows Server 2012 r2 servers with Windows server 2022.  The current web server is running WS2012R2.  If I build a new Web Console server with WS2022 how do I know that the newly built server will take over the web console duties?  What else do I need to do to replace it with 2022?  Any documentation would be helpful.  It is painful to find relevant commvault documentaion.   

Hi! Does Commvault have a way of computing the required storage for Microsoft 365 application backup such as sharepoint online? I want to scope the estimated BET i would need to backup my sharepoint. Thank you!
