Exclude DDB + Index server backups from Synchronous secondary copy
Best answer by Gseibak
Hi TNO - one method would be to re-associate them to their own SP that does not have a secondary copy.
OR
there is a setting to not allow DDB backups to aux copy as defined here - https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/11015_media_management_configuration_auxiliary_copy.html
by default that is normally disabled but check this setting:
“Allow auxiliary copy for deduplication database backup jobs”
You may want to keep the index backups in case of failover where the index might have to be rebuilt on the other site.

Yes, you can exclude them by going to Storage policy copy properties-→ Associations→ Edit
Uncheck the client/subclient to exclude from a secondary copy
Note: The drawback is that manually removing the DDB + index servers from the storage policy copies. Unfortunately, destroys the automatic assignment of new clients/subclients.
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I’m looking for a commcell level solution rather than doing manual exclusuions that will impact the automatic assignment of new clients/subclients which we can’t afford.
DDB + Index server backups are ‘system created’ so I guess there should be a way to exclude them all.
