Hello,we got several LTO4 Tapes from a customer to recover files from it. The IT-Department doesn’t exist anymore and the contact person has no clue about anything. We successful imaged 2 Tapes an in the first sector we saw “CommVault Media Label… CommVault Systems Galaxy” Entrys. What brings me here. ;-)How can we restore files from the tapes, what do we need. Thanks in advance.
lets imagine situationin site A we have 2 MAs: A1 & A2 and client group A which inside are A1 & A2 in site B we have 2 MAs: B! & B2 and client group B which inside are B1 & B2 we have AUX copy which sends data from site A to site B (mean src MA: A1,A2 and dst MA B1,B2)so we have4 traffics / streams A1 > B1 & A1 > B2 & A2 > B1 & A2 > B2 on level of group A i set network throttling X Mbps and select as destination/ remote group B - here important i also checked “All clients share allocated bandwidth” Mine question is if X network throttle more or less equally touch / control all 4 traffic described above or only in pair by SRC ma : A1> B1 & A1 > B2 and Independently A2 > B1 & A2 > B2 on numbers if we set X = 20 Mbps we have situation1: A1 > B1 5MBps & A1 > B2 5Mps & A2 > B1 5Mbps & A2 > B2 5 Mpbs orsitaution2 A1 > B1 10MBps & A1 > B2 10Mps and A2 > B1 10Mbps & A2 > B

Hi Team,Greetings!!! In our Tape library there is an error for one single tape “The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error” and the Media status is showing “full” but actually this tape is not full. after that this tape is not writing any more.please see the tape size detailsNative capacity of Tape: 11.72 TBSize of stored data:1.31 TB onlyCommServe current version:11.28.24Could you share any solution for this issue
We install a small Commcell test lab (1 Commvault server, 1 MA and 1 client) with DR backups and aux copy to Metallic recovery reserve (MRR). My plan is to test a full site crash.Since I have a DDB backup and data copy in MRR, I should be able to reinstall a Commcell using latest DDB backups and resync data.There’s a few steps I’m not really sure about. here’s what I have so far:reinstall CV serveur using DDB backup set downloaded from cloud.commvault.com Apply licence reinstall MA add MRR storageNow, how should I proceed with the data in MRR. My MA is empty. How do I sync back from MRR?
We are trying to observe how commvault sends delete requests.Does it leverage ‘versionID’ header in DELETE operations for s3 buckets’ objects?Or the delete requests are more of non-versioned delete requests?
Howdy folks,Our current environment:One on-prem mediaagent connected to SAN for primary backupsOne off-site mediaagent with storage and jbod for DROne Commserve265TB of deduplicated data, 1 DDB, nearly 11PB of undeduplicated dataOur goal:We want to add a second on-prem mediaagent (with its own DDB and index cache) to work in tandem with our current primary mediaagent. Our idea/hope/goal is that both on-prem mediaagents (one existing, one new) would be under the same storage, deduplication, and copy policies and Commserve would load-balance jobs between the two. Both of these would then copy over to our third (existing) off-site mediaagent. We met with our Commvault rep during purchasing of the new mediaagent and he said it would be possible, but didn’t give us any specifics. Now that installation/setup is here, I can’t find any documentation on how to actually accomplish this. I’ve found everything I need to prepare for installation, and install the Commvault software on the mediaagen
Dear all,I am currently struggling with the following topic, I hope anybody can help.In our Commvault Infrastructure we have 3 Media Agents, each with its own local Library and Deduplication Engine. On each Deduplication Engine we have 3 Dedup Databases, named DDB_Files, DDB_VMs and DDB_Databases.I am now adding a new Media Server to the platform but I can’t figure out how to create the 3 DDBs for the local Deduplication Engine, to reproduce the configuration of the existing MAs. May anybody be so kind to suggest me how to do? Thank you!Gaetano
Hello All,We have 2 Media Agents where the backend storage is going to be replaced with the advanced storage so that the support is available from storage point of view. We have 2 different libraries from two different media agents. So now my question is how will I move the data from the library to new library within the same media agent. The backups are running continuously and they will be running without any break. Let me know if you have reference links or steps to perform these steps.RegardsKishore
I’m wondering how to add an incremental SP into a working environment without causing mission critical BUs to fail.I have 4 “very large” NAS/NFS subclients which all go to a SP which currently has just one S3 destination for all jobs. It was becoming impractical to send all fulls and incs to tape and the business requirement is just “daily backups to tape” so we do synthetic fulls, but, even occasional synth fulls then would need to copy to tape, all wasting tapes due to cycles, etc. I had talked to one of the guys in support about this and it sounded “easy enough” but when I try to deploy, things don’t look like it was described over the phone.So, what we would really like to do is have only incremental jobs copied from that S3 copy to tape. No fulls, ever go to tape. We also don’t want to skip any incs going to the existing primary bucket.I thought it would be as simple as creating a new incremental policy but I have observed that if I have any Incremental SP’s the actual option to s
Hi Everyone! I am looking to see if there is anyone else that is backing up Microsoft AG clusters with nodes that are hosted in different geographical DCs? We have the MSQL AG client configured at the moment to backup to “PLAN - DC1” but when the DBA’s failover the cluster to another node, the backups are being transfered across the WAN from “DC2” to “DC1” Should we not configure the backups using the AG for these DBs and confgure them on the clusters nodes instead and configure the storage polices to point to the Commvault Plan for that site or is there another option? Thanks for your time!
