Hi,
i have created a new V2 Virtual Server Agent sublient to backup my vCenter VMs.
I miss this option like you see at the screenshot.
In my V1 Virtual Server Agent i see this option.
Is this normal? I set this option because i backup my fileserver and i want to have the possibility to restore single files from tape.
 

Collect File Details

Select this option to collect file and folder information as part of streaming backups and IntelliSnap backup copies. Use this option when creating a copy for tape storage, because file and folder information is required when recovering files from tape.



Regards
Dennis

HI @Dennis ,

Collect File Details is not supported for V2 Indexing.

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/32296_live_browse_for_vmware.html

 

Note: The options to collect file details are available only for virtualization clients that use Indexing Version 1.

Best Regards,

Sebastien


Ahhh, ok. Is there any way to set it to V1?
Do I have any way of restoring individual files from the vm from tape?
Or only to backup the VM via file agent?


No, you cannot set to V1.

No, if needed you can restore the Full VM, VMDK, or Aux Copy from Tapes back to Disk.
