Is there any way to copy backups from one commserver to another commserver? That is, to move backups between infrastructures with different CCID.

I have the situation where I have customers who have backups on an older Commvault infrastructure and they want to move their Backup service with another provider without losing the long retention backups.

I don't see any other possibility than importing tapes or restoring and copying old backups. Both options do not seem viable to me.

I don't think so, but I wanted to ask the community if anyone knows of a way to transfer those backups between Commvault infrastructures.

To move the jobs from one CommCell to another you will need to do a CommCell Migration as shown here:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/5078_commcell_migration_overview.html

This will allow you to move the jobs to the new CommCell.

Please let me know if this is helpful.

Please note that once migrated the data becomes restore only - a new client should be created to continue with backups going forward
