Wonder if one subcilent can use different tape media, for example, mixing LTO8 and LTO9 on one subclient. Thanks,S.
Hello. We sent 300TB of backup jobs to AWS when we were squeezed for space. Now that we have the additional space, what’s the best way to copy the data back down? These jobs only exist in AWS with a long retention so I can’t just let them age naturally. We have 3 copies for the storage policy:Primary Pure Storage Flashblade - Synchronous Copy AWS - Selective Copy; “Do not select Automatically” (we manually choose the jobs)What are my options?Thanks!Dan
Hi Guys,I have disk library with 8 MPs inside and 1 of them selected /plan for decommission as i dont need it or must destroy hardware under it (mean plan for decommission as selected on MP level “disable MP for new data” + “prevent data block references for new backup” 1st mine question is why CV still, after so many years on market, have no possibility to decomm MP. Mean here simple click on MP from GUI and then options “decomm it” which will move/spill from that MPs to other MPs in the same library all data (jobs) and dedup data for jobs ? And again as probably will be here such suggestion i dont want move MP to other place as i want to get rid of it and have clean environment beside to remeber that MP called X is laying here but i real is not need :( ! But as i have not what i want i must take longer way to achieve what i want so wait till data decommiss ….here lucky if user have not INFINITIVE retention as then CV is as child “can not do anything”But let imagine that we have 1

Hello all!In our environment, we have created a temporary copies within our few storage policies - (call them copy 6 and 7). Those were tape copies. We have keep some backup there for 2 months, but it is no longed needed. We do not need those copies within those storage policies any more. But for now, even if they are no longer any backup retained on this 6-7 copy, we do have a lot of “Big Data Apps” jobs retained on those copies.We would like to delete those copies because it interferes with our “workflow” which picks jobs for copies and it's keeping to mark them to copy for 6-7 copy. (even if copy is disabled) So my question is - what exactly this Big Data Apps is? It is some kind of Index, am I correct? If those “Big Data Apps” are stored on copies 6-7 are there any dependencies for other copies, other jobs keep in other/same storage policies?Can we just delete copy 6-7 from our storage policies even if they are still those Big Data Apps stored on it, and it won't affect the rest of
Like Commvault, Exagrid has Point intime recovery itself. But i dont know how it work when using Commvault + Exagrid. In Exagrid I recover data at a time but when go to Commvault, all data showed is not change anything
Dears,I have a question,In an organization, we plan to replace an MSL6480 (LTO8 tapes) with a new MSL6480 (LTO9 tapes) and decommission the old one once the new one is configured but the need the data on the old tapes.My question is what I need to do to make the new library read data from LTO8 and LTO9 Tapes successfully? Thanks for your support.
Hello everyone, I'm here to ask for your help. I have a QNAP with about 400 shares (the NAS is used at corporate level) so I necessarily have to have a daily incremental backup. Since Commvault has not developed an agent for QNAP, I am forced to use a Linux or Windows VM as a bridge to perform backups. I have already consulted the official documentation but I have not had any success. Is it possible to get some suggestions from you?Thank you all!

Hi Vaulters,I have a question regarding a new full linux 11.36 config done entirely using the Command Center.I recently installed a Grid of 2 Linux Media Agents with each its DA SAN FC storage. I created a disk library with 2 mount paths and 2 dedup partitions.On the properties of each mount point I can see the path of the mount point of the Media Agent that hosts the block storage but I also can see a path “via network” from the other Media Agent. Anybody know the nature of this “network” share? Is that a dataserver-ip share? Anybody knows a way to use a good old NFS share between the 2 MA in a grid without the Java console?
