Hi,

How to find backup of deleted VM (in VMware) in Command Center? I cannot find it under search or Protection section. The only way is to find the job when this VM was still there but it’s not always that easy.

Is there any setting that make decomissioned VMs searchable?

 

As always it was a lot easier to find it in classic Commcell Console - I just find it under vcenter group.

 

Commvault 11.40.

Hi mateusznitka,

Usually, if the VM backups are still retained, you should see it under Protect → Virtual Machines, or Manage → Servers → All 

 

Check both places, if you don’t see them, but you still can Browse/Restore the VM files, then open a support case to check further

 

One more thing to check, is this V1 or V2 indexing ?

Hi,

This is V2 indexing. 

I cannot find them through Protect → Virtual Machines (it looks like it show only active machines), but indeed there are searchable in Manage → Servers → All. That’s enough for me, thanks.
