+3Hi all,
In the Commvault Engineer training I told the students about MediaExplorer. One of my students remarked that MediaExplorer is only available for Windows. Since there are more and more MediaAgents on Linux (and therefore backups to Linux volumes), is there something similar for Linux? Or can we connect a Linux volume to a Windows server and use MediaExplorer on that server?
Any tips are welcome.
Thanks and kind regards,
Henk

Hi,
As far as I know MediaExplorer is only supported on Windows platform. If you need to retrieve DR backups from disk or cloud lib you need to
Since Windows platform is now considered as a no-go in the backup world, I would hope that this or similar tool will be available on Linux platform soon.

Yes. NAS and cloud are the natural way to go, but NAS is not really secure and can be easily wiped also some customers do not allow their DR backups to be sent to cloud. So if these fails we need to look some other way, like disk and/or tape and this is where ME Tool comes in.

Hi Scott,
This is - as an example - for a big CV customer who wants to do a DR test and simulates that every other possibility is gone. They have no possibility to send their data to the cloud (legal stuff).
Thanks,
