Click here for the survey (approx. 12-14 total questions). Please respond by May 15.For those who participated last fall in our 2025 events survey, this is similar.

So whether it’s a specific type of expertise or conversation… or more focus on Supe

Anyone else noticing Commvault support going downhill?

Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a dip in the quality of Commvault support recently? I’ve been a big fan of their support for years—always quick to jump in, super helpful, and they’d properly hand off stuff to other teams if needed. Felt like they really had your back, you know? But lately, it feels like they’ve started following this strict “rule book” approach—like, "A = A, B = B," and if something crosses into another stream within Commvault, they just tell you to raise a separate ticket. No calls, delays in responses, and it feels like they’re dodging issues instead of actually resolving them. It’s not even about break/fix tickets anymore—there’s this whole attitude shift. They used to go above and beyond, but now it’s like they just want to pass the buck. I’m not even gonna bring up ticket references, but I’ve seen enough of this trend to feel like it’s not just a one-off. We’ve got premium support for all our customers, and honestly, Commvault’s complexity

24 hours waiting: My post still isn't published - Can admin help?"

 On Monday, I wrote a post about an error when trying to recover a backup from tape. The post wasn’t published, indicating it needed to be moderated for 24 hours. That time has passed, and it still hasn’t been posted. Is there a way to reach the admin team and avoid having to rewrite it? The post was titled 'Error - The medium is already reserved by some other job’

Non-Public Section for Reporting Minor Bugs?

I think it could be beneficial to have a non-public section for the reporting of minor bugs.I understand I could go through the full Support process, but I really don’t want to go to that much effort for a minor bug.

1-Touch - Make it better than Acronis

I like 1-touch but I have to constantly compete with my customers about how much better Acronis is as a product. I would love to have a discussion with someone in development about this. If Commvault is truly the industry leader, BMR should be included.

I apologize ahead of time for how this may come off. Please do not get it from, I love this Forum and I do appreciate the hard work it takes to build and maintain this forum.that said: This is obnoxious:MAKE THIS GO AWAYI understand that one of the problems with forums is that people are likely to ask questions that have already been answered but there are 4 problems with this specific solution. IT DOESN’T WORK - This speaks to a larger related problem specifically searching the support site, namely that if I search for something using the exact keywords, not only will it not find it, it will find things completely, totally, and comically unrelated. The heading that says it will provide related topics provides 8 suggestions that could not possibly be more unrelated. When you are typing on a smaller screen it takes up 80% of the screen while you are trying to type, in other words I have less space to type what I am looking for help with than is dedicated to a search that is suggesting s

First time, long time.

First, a brief introduction. I spent the first half of my career as a software developer - coding in C# (sometimes MS C++ and interop) and doing my best to manage IT at a small business. I can still vividly remember my times as an aspiring IT administrator - battling different backup agents, constantly running out of space on tapes, and that time we got hit by an IIS vulnerability. That’s when I realized that backing up meant nothing if you couldn’t recover. That’s also when I realized, I was a lot better at my day job - writing code.I joined Commvault nearly 12 years ago, and spent most of that time working in digital marketing. Today, I head up our customer marketing team where I wake up each day thinking about how to help you be more successful and show off your data protection super powers. Today, and every third Thursday of the quarter is #gettoknowyourcustomerday. So in the spirit of getting to know you better - what is your data protection superpower?

So long, farewell.....

Fellow community members, Today is my last working day at Commvault, and I wanted to leave you all with a message of my appreciation and gratitude.  2 years ago, we were just about to launch an extremely ambitious project: a new and improved Commvault community.  Our previous community never received much attention, so our expectations were a bit tempered.  When the community launched, we could not have been happier!  Fast forward 2 years and we have over 9000 members, with over 4000 topics!  I'm beyond proud of everything we have all built together.  Our world grows smaller every day.  I have no doubt that this won't be the last time we speak with each other (there's always LinkedIn :-)). Keep helping each other and growing together.  This community's best days are still ahead! Forever grateful,Mike
