Deconfigure Clients with no Backup History

I am trying to find a solution where we can automatically deconfigure clients which have no backup history.  While also making sure we don’t mistakenly deconfigure any MediaAgents/proxies/CS/etc. We’re trying to implement a set of policies/settings that would result in decom of a server simply by disabling backup activity at the client level.I want to enable the Data Aging MM parameter to ignore cycles on backup activity disabled, so that if we disable backup activity it would prune the data after 35 days.Then I want the client to remain for some time and if it has no backup history, then I want to have it automatically deconfigured after X days.  Then we would turn on the option to delete deconfigured clients that have no protected data, so that things would eventually clean up automatically. I am trying to find a setting to deconfigure clients which have no backup history - the closest thing I was able to engineer would be:Smart Client GroupDeconfigure Client Workflow scheduled again

Can we exclude Transaction Log backups for SQL Simple Recovery DBs from a Plan?

We are moving from Storage Policies to Plans and have Plans for databses where we run Transaction Log backups 24/4 each 15 minutes.  For Simple Recovery Mode subclients we only run daily Fullbackups, but when moving to a common Plan it triggers Transaction Log backups for these Simple Mode subclients as well. There are a lot of jobs with 0 bytes of data and it makes a mess. Is there a way to skip these Transaction Log backups for SQL databases in Simple Recovery Model? With a service level approach to setting up common Plans, I don’t want to set up separate Plans only for these Simple mode SQL backups. At this point I have removed all Database schedules from the Plan and configjred them separately, but this adds complexity. A sinple way to exclude Simple mode SQL from the Transcation Log schedule in the Plan would be really nice. /Patrik

Migrate Exchange Mail Archiver into Contentstore Mail Server

Hello, one of our customer want to move away from the Exchange Compliance Archive and the “Offline Contenten Indexing” as a Search Engine infrastructur.The new solution will be the ContentStore Mail Server - SMTP.The customer is planing to recall/restore all old mails from the old archiv into the “new” Client to also remove all the old entries of long retiered systems. Another Painpoint is, the old Search Engine hit the next limit (more then 100M object) and it would require a new Node to be added.Is there any way, to restore the data directly onto the ContentStore Mail Server, or do we need to have the messages restored into the exchange server and push them from there into the Contentstore Mail Server?Or am I missing any other Option for the migration steps?Kind RegardsJoerg

Building Custom Report

Hi Fellas,We have a BI server that we use in our own environment. Here we want to make a report on the BI server. This report will show the following information. It will show information such as Client Name, hostname, type of agent installed on it, content, last backup date according to Agent, whether there is Aux Copy, next backup date. Which tables should we read on CommServ DB for this information? Or is there a SQL Query you know about it? Best Regards.

Commvault backup statergy for SQL Log Shipping

Commvault backup statergy for SQL Log Shipping for customer database, not looking for commvault side replication from primary server to DR server. what is the method to backup tlog on primary server, will it effect the sql native log shipping. can we perform tlog backup also , wil it effect LSN chain since normal log shpping is happening from SQL server side when we perform T-log backup from commvaultIf we use Log Shipping for the DR server we have been told this will break Comvault’s ability to backup the transaction log.  Is this correct ?  IF so does this mean we can no longer do a restore to a point in time as Comvault does not have the transaction logs.  How does this work with online backups where surely the log are required ?  If this is the case then Log Shipping is NOT fit for purpose for DR
