Hi SSchmidt,just to add:The specific MediaAgent Ransomware Protection you are referring to just protects disk library mount paths on a MediaAgent, meaning that in your case this setting only makes sense if you have a disk library mounted tothe CommServe machine (either on local disk or shared with other MediaAgents). Apart from that, it doesn’t have any affect to the CommServe itself. See here how that setting works and what it is meant for:https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/9398_protecting_mount_paths_from_ransomware_01.htmlSpecific recommendations to secure the CommServe can be found here:https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/4801_securing_commserve_computer.html

Absolutely!From the docs:Protecting your data from Ransomware attacks is critically important.Commvaultproactively monitors the client computer for any unexpected activity and alert the user with the type of activity.In addition, you can secure the mount path from being accessed by external processes thereby protecting the backed up data.Commvaultprovides different methods to protect your data.https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/7877_ransomware_protection_01.htmlLet me know if you have any questions (or if I misunderstood the question!
