Commvault media server keep DDB and Index. If the media server crash, will lost all restore capability.

1, how to protect DDB and Index on media server? what is DR process for media server? 

2, shall we replicate Commvault media server DDB and Index from source to target regularly? want to bring up target media server immediately if source server down.

Hey xiwen, 

  1. The DDB and the Index are automatically backed up and automatically restored / reconstructed if required. 
  2. If you need immediate Media Agent recoverability, then deploy two - if you lose one the other can carry on.

Better still spread your DR over two sites with a Media Agent at each site and a copy of the data at each site too!.

Please note that the DDB is not needed for restore, just the Index is (for browsing the backup and restoring single files). The Index will be automatically recovered from the backup media when browsing the backup.

Having that said, you just need an “empty” MediaAgent that has access to the backup media (i.e. disk library or tape library) to be able to restore the data.
