Is there a way to receive, in a Commvault post process command, the name of the database being backed up?
Additionally, if you have any links to any more documentation about Pre/Post Processes I would be very grateful.

Pre/Post Process parameter

You’re probably better off using Workflows, so I’ll post the docs for both:
Pre/Post Process:
Workflows:
https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/49513_workflow_overview.html
Workflows allow you to do pretty much anything, though are therefore a lot more complex than adding a post script.

I am working with Commvault for SQL Server backups. With our past processes, we would receive notification of a database backup failure, to include the name of the database the backup failed on. In the 1 day orientation I received, the Commvault rep didn’t know of a way for this to be accomplished and suggested using Pre/Post Process cmds.
I have previously read the documentation for Pre/Post Processes in the link you provided and, it doesn’t provide much help outside of the setup process.
I currently have success/failure emails being sent through this process but, I haven’t found a way to include the database name for them.
Again, thank you for your response, and I will look at Workflows.
