Hi Commvault team, I am learning Commvault from YouTube videos but having some doubts.Please mentor me.Can we install Command center on Linux machine. While restoring VM(s), we require vCenter server or ESX using VSA. Can we use “activate” section to find redundant data on client computer configured in CommCell. Do command center support SAN disk and cloud storage (S3) [as new tech. storage] or it uses “tapes” [Traditional] too.
