Hello,

I'm planing to upgrade our 11.28 system and realized, starting with Commvault Platform Release 2024E (11.36), Indexing V1 for the Virtual Server Agent (VSA) will be end of life and not supported anymore. I need to upgrade currently used VSA V1, to V2.
I can create new virtualization client and clone subclients manually or I can use the migration workflow. It's maybe clear.
I have found in a topic, the backup history at the VM level will have both V1 and V2 jobs. The subclient level backup history will be separated. The V1 jobs are available for restore until they age.
And here comes the question. Currently I have selective copies of VM backups for long term. It means, some job copies retained for 1-5 years. These copies will be available via V1 subclients.
Will it work? Will these V1 indexed backups restorable after the end of life of V1 indexing? 2024E Release and newers in the future will support V1 indexed VM restores?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @VBalazs ,

Good day!

Yes, V1 indexed old job are restorable in 2024E.

For V1 indexing as Its end of life no new features or fixes will be added from 2024E

Also if you are migrating try to use workflow which is recommended procedure
