Hello,We are having two physical media agents with shared disk library (CIFS) and tape library connected to them. We want to virtualize these media agents, however, after virtualizing we want to run the existing physical MAs for some time due to backup retention on the tape library.We want to setup new virtual MA, migrate the DDB & IndexCache to new virtual. Now the existing physical media is left with the tape library and no DDB/Index. Is it possible to perform restores from the tape library using these physical MAs?Idea is to run the new backups using virtual MAs and turn the physical MAs off when retention on the tape library expires. Thanks.
Hello, hopefully i have this request in the proper place and it has not been asked before.So I have 2 exchange environments because where is the fun in just having one. I currently have a 2013 exchange env. running 2013. Dag1also an exchange 2019 system. Dag2 My ask is.. We are only interested in backing up the databases within the dags. Which is happening and no issues, but today I was looking at capacity usage and I notice that all the DAGS are part of a multi server setup, and these servers are also doing a file level backup, to me it seems that this is a duplication of backups and I only need the DAG DB’s. can someone confirm this is true and I only need to be backing up the DAG data and not the actual servers that are doing a file level backup as well. btw, I am using the passive copies in the DAGS. thanksChris
We are running out of space and need to redesign. I haven’t used Commvault in some time and forgot how.
Hello Gentlemen, I would like help with the following error.A new Bucket was created in our Nutanix, with the WORM immutability function. And in commvault, when trying to create a new cloud storage, it presents the following error in the image below: Note: I performed the test using the Cloud Test Tool software and the error returned talks "You must provide a Content-MD5 header with object blocking fields" .......Image below: Test Upload/Donwaload : Test Access Functionality Check: I am sending the Logs as an Attachment:CVD (taken from commserve)EvMgrs (taken from Mediaagent)CloudActive (taken from Mediaagent)
Hello Community,I am a tenant admin in Commvault so I don't have access to Commcell or Java console. But I can add NAS, servers, virtualization. I currently have a problem with NAS backups from Isilon and each incremental job takes 7 or 8 hours. The data size is 1TB and there are more than 2 million files.I first added a NAS, i.e. Isilon (with array), using add server and then a CIFS subclient as backup source. Since we already started with version 11.28, I assume that the changelist for Isilon is enabled. But I don't understand why an incremental job takes so long every day. Strangely, I see that after a synthetic backup, the incremental job only takes about 30 minutes. But the next day it will take 8 hours again.I would like to ask if anyone has had a similar experience. Many thanks in advance.Thanks.
Hi everyone,I have a question regarding the compatibility of HPE StoreOnce Catalyst with an air gap storage solution.Current Setup:HPE StoreOnce - Currently configured as the primary target backup storage and a Catalyst storage.New Addition:HPE DL380 server - Intended to be used as air gap storage.Question:Is it possible to utilize the new HPE DL380 server as an air gap storage solution while maintaining the existing HPE StoreOnce Catalyst as the primary backup storage? Thank you for your time and assistance.
Hi,I have tried to restore oracle database to disk but I did not find the option restore to Disk.
Hello,If a VM is being backed-up ( VSA backup ) from 2 different backup-sets using the same storage pool, is there any impact on the license consumed by this VM ? will there be a double ‘charge’ for it - per Front-End ( capacity license ) ? Thanks
I am wanting to increase my level of understanding of the IntelliSnap Big Data backup and recovery process. I have searched the Community, Partner University, and knowledgebases, and documentation without success. Can anyone help with the followingProvide list of links or explanation that explains how this process works for backup and recovery and the differences between VM, San based Snaps, and COW(Linux Copy On Write). COW (Linux Copy on Write) Snapshots vs hardware snapshots, pros and cons Are there scalability limitations with COW snaps. A break down on what some of the options actually do when configuring the Big Data VMware snaps. The documentation either ignores or glosses over this. When using SAN Snapshots from a VM using Big Data (say mongo Idata agent), will I need to present the LUN as an RDM using NPIV. Is there a detailed method for doing this?
Hello, I’m during the backups migration from tapes to disk library. I have encountered the problem with jobs that are somehow disabled. The retention of job is still valid. Auxiliary Copy is skipping this job.This is the error that I’m getting when I’m trying to pick the jobs for copy
Hi,Is there a way to identify files by name and location who where during the file scan marked as new?We know they are not new as they the data backupped is low.The reason is probably a right or attribute changed as we also see no modification dates changed.Data is located on a network share on a Isilon using a Windows File Agent
Hello, We’re currently establishing a yearly reporting for backup size of our systems.Can someone explain the difference between "Protected Application Size" and "Total Size On Media" in Commvault Reports? Thank you and best Regards
Hi,in V11.32, is there an option to change the data paths for a primary snap copy ?In former versions I could simply change the data path in the storage policy copy, but no it is bound to a storage pool, I intend to replace.The dedupe engines associated are already empty and I created new Storage Pools for the active backups copies and seondary copies.I’m not able to complete delete the Storage Pool, since the meta data of the snapshot jobs are still stored there.adding the new disklibrary to the existing pool might enable me to delete the currently used disk lib and paths, but the original StoragePool has to be maintained, although not really used to store backup data.rgdsKlaus
