Hi,

Trying to find out the directory structure that Commvault creates in S3 Compatible cloud Storage.

I created a VM backup from VMware and got the below Directory in S3 Compatible :
 

  • Does V_1​ , V_11 mean different backup attempts?


 

  • What is the difference between the below folder structure?

​​​​​​

  • Is it something configurable from Commvault Software?

Jass,


This is our library folder structure for tracking. 

V_X =  Volume folder.

Chunk_X = Chunk folder. 

This folder structure cannot be changed.

Jass, 

Adding to William’s update, you can refer the below Mount Path Hierarchy. And we recommend you to not modify the structure. 

 

- <MPID>\<Base Folder>\CV_MAGNETIC\<V_####>\<CHUNK_####>

- <CHUNK_####> -> Chunk Folder - consists of the following:

Chunk_Meta_Data (CHUNK_META_DATA_xx ) - It contains the metadata information of the AF (Archive File) and its signature(s).
SFILE.Idx - It contains an index of the actual SFILE Containers
SFILE_Container_XXX (SFILE_CONTAINER_yy) - It contains each unique data (signature), and it is linked to the chunks_meta data

Thank you for the information.

Is there any predefined answer to How many objects exist per directory?

Hi @Jass  Is there any documentation about Library folder structure?

I try to find If it’s possible to import these chunk data from another CommServe.

Thanks
