currently we are trying to move operation from Commcell Console to Command Center.
In the case of a SQL-Server restore we discovered that it is not possible to restore the SQL system databases (model/master/msdb) with the Command Center.
In the Commvault Console we have the “Include System Databases” tick-box in the advanced restore options … but there are no advanced restore options in the Command Center.
System databases don't appear for restore from Command Center and that they must be done through advanced restore option from Commcell Console with 'include system databases' option during the browse.
In the Command Center, they are only available when restoring an entire instance. If needed, you would use instance-level recovery documented here: (Command Center) https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/147482_restoring_sql_server_instance.html
If you needed to restore them individually that procedure is here, which is only done from the Commcell Console. https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/18252_restoring_sql_system_databases.html

Hi Tanuj,
thank you for the quick response and for the clarification.
Did you open a CMR for it? I'll also try to poke some people who I know within Commvault. The future is Command Center, so you should deliver this ability in there as well.
From Command Center perspective, when you go to the backup history of the SQL instance, click on the differential backup, browse that for recovery and you should see the system databases.
Just checked it what @Jos Meijer stated and it's also possible in case of a full. So I assume this workaround works for all types expect transaction log. Not sure if the restore actually works, but you can select only the system DBs.
