Hi Raj -  what version of Commvault software are you on?

 

Handling VM Clients That Cannot Be Merged Because They Have the Same Parent Backup Set:

If duplicate VM clients cannot be merged, the backup history for the original VM client includes older jobs, and the backup history for the duplicate VM client (such as client_name_1) has newer jobs.

To merge VM clients that cannot be merged automatically, perform the following steps:

Wait until the jobs for the original VM client have been pruned as part of data aging. Delete the original VM client. Rename the newer VM client by removing the '_1' from the client name. After you perform these steps, subsequent backup jobs are associated with the newer VM client.

Hi @Gseibak , will that then mean that the older jobs will thereafter be associated with the “newer client” as well?
