We have to manually right click and select “Remove from Inventory then run another backup which then works fine.VMTools running latest version.Run a full on the affected VMs and it keeps happening.Had a ticket with CV which said that this is a VM issue, so wondering if the community has seen this before and have found a solution for it? Thanks

Creating Secondary Copies for Plans, via CommCell Console

Are there any issues with creating a Secondary Copy for a Plan via the CommCell Console, with the intent of promoting that copy to Primary?For whatever reason, the Plan isn’t correctly listed within Command Center, and as such I am concerned about causing further issues if attempting the change via Command Center. Plans are terrible.

Unusual job activity alerts after upgrading to 11.34.20

The evening of Friday April 6, I upgraded my CommVault installation from 11.32.38 to 11.34.20. Following the upgrade (which required reboots of almost all the client computers), the Friday evening backups seems to be running normally.  When I returned to work on Monday morning I have roughly 300 Alert emails regarding “unusual job activity” on various servers.  Weirdly, some of the alerts say zero files have been changed:Anomaly NotificationAn unusual job activity was detected in Job [751258], type [Root Size Change]. Details: Unusual number of file operations in client [INF-SQLP104] - created files: [0], deleted files: [0], modified files: [0], root size change of [0.00] GBDoes anyone know what the problem is and how to stop all this spam? Is there a way to turn off these notifications?ThanksKen

how to pickup a specific backup job via REST / PowerShell for Backup Copy

Hello everyone,I am currently facing a problem:Backup for a large CIFS volume (> 50 TB! on NetApp) should run as follows:1. backup as incremental via SnapShot on productive filer several times a day2. transfer the SnapShots via snapvault to a backup NetApp via snapvault (aux copy)so far no problem ... then:3. backup of the last incremental SnapShot of the week from the backup Netapp to S3 (with DDB) and then synthetic full to get a new full again.-> This is possible in principle as the backup is incremental but a snapshot always contains everything. This means that only the diff of this last snapshot to the last synthetic full has to be backed up and this is only approx. 2 - 3 TB per week.4. once a quarter backup of the last (synthetic) full from S3 to tape (regulation) … no problem as well Unfortunately, Backup Copy ignores all incremental backups wif I use selection rules (even with “Apply selection rule for snap jobs” selected). I can either specify "all backups" here, but the

Question on License capacity

Hi Team,Recently we had multiple clients because of which license was over utilized to 130%. so, I disabled the clients for which backup isn’t required and now the license utilization is at 92% but I still see the below error.“The system is over the licensed capacity/usage. Data management jobs will not run.Please contact your software provider to purchase additional capacity/usage licenses.Click the link for details on how to address over-capacity or over-usage situations.”Could you please suggest if I need to worry because it says Data Management jobs will not run.

Sharepoint (v2) backup seemingly running fine, but all azure apps give permission errors.

The jobs are seemingly still running fine without any failed items.I restarted the services on the access node, also tried verifying in another browser. Maybe it could be a problem with browser cache, but no.Discovery and index timestamps are up to date.Running 11.32.23Any comments on this? What should be done? Can I trust the backup?
