I have tried searching, but with search terms I keep getting looped back to topics covering snapshot backups and filters.If a VM has an agent installed, (therefore not taking VM/Snapshot backups) but is powered off in VMWare….is there a way to have it skip backing up the machine (or do something else like fail earlier, throw an alert, or something else you might suggest)? The issue is we have alot of machines where we are just not told to stop backing them up from the team that owns them, and just don’t want to reach out every time we see a job stuck in pending because it can’t be reached. Trying to free up resources to research actual problems, and not mask actual connection issues. We don’t want to manually disable machines that might be powered off for some temporary issue.I understand snapshot backups can filter by powered off, but these are machines that have reasons to have an agent installed and can’t utilize snapshots.running commserve v11.32.38Thanks!
Commvault Cost Assessment helps you to visualize the savings and is used for information purposes only:The information and estimates generated by this tool are based on a variety of assumptions and may not reflect your specific situation. These assumptions may include average hardware and software costs, typical backup and recovery costs and typical maintenance and support costs etc.The actual TCO of your situation will vary depending on a number of factors, including, the specific hardware and software you choose, your deployment environment, your customized backup and recovery requirements etc.We recommend that you consult with a Commvault representative to validate your exact situation and get a customized quote.

I can see in the health dashboard that there is a Cleanup report which shows clients that are in a VM Image and a client based backup but is anyone aware of a report that would show clients that are in any two or more schedules. For example two Client FS backups.. Thanks for any advice.
Hello dear Commvault community,Can someone help me start the Journal Mailbox Archive job? The job always runs into error 19:801 (see log excerpt below). Unfortunately, I can't do anything with the error. Perhaps someone can explain to me what I have to do?  Best regards,Eugen
What is your naming convention for Plans? Looking for some inspiration.
Does anyone have any information from Commvault regarding CommServe support for windows server 2025?I have tested it in our lab and it seems fine.Â

Dear Experts and Gurus,This is my very 1st post as a CVLT Partner and I know how precious your help can be.I was the Territory Manager for Africa from Oct 2020 to Oct 2023.Now Unception CEO, Service & Training Partner for France and French Speaking Africa.Deploying CV 11.36 at a telco for Call Detail Records archiving.We could cover many obsolete systems.For AIX 5 we tried 11.20 and got the attached error message.We’re still looking for some solution/work around; I decided to share this humble request though.Looking forward to some help/advice/tip.Sincerely,HichamÂ
Dealing with nightly high cpu issue….hit plateaus at 100% for several hours. Task manager shows Media Manager process hogging the cpu. This only happens during backup windows and not during the day. Dev support is saying it’s looking like we just have too much happening. It’s 200 VM backup jobs and they’re staggered. Issue only happens when the Incr VM backups run. Does not happen when corresponding Syn full run.I’ve tried staggering the jobs as much as I can but it only delays the inevitable. Suggestions?
We are planning to implement Commvault with HPE StoreOnce 3660 NAS share, please advise the best Practice for the configuration level. - Is it will enable Deduplication & Compression in hardware level and disable these features in Commvault end. - Is it will run backup of synthetic full (or) full + Incremental.Please share best practice document to implement this solution.Â
Friends, We use on our systems Oracle SEHA (Standard Edition High Availability) databases.That means we have 2 servers and the databases run at one server as single databases. If the server goes down, the database fail-over to the other server. It feels like classical cluster-behavior, but it’s without cluster-software on OS level. This means that Commvault will see the database as a standard Oracle database running on node1. Then when there is a failover, Commvault will autodetect this database on node2 as a new database and the one of node1 will have failed jobs.The when the database fails back to node1, the jobs of this database on node2 will keep having failed jobs.So the database backups are spread on 2 clients, while you can see in CV that the DBID is the same. As we have 30 days retention, we can’t just cleanup the remains on node2 as for recovery we need data from both clients. We also can’t disable the backup for node2, because we don’t know when the next failover will happen
