One of my developers asked me if the registry gets backed up every night to which I replied yes. I've always known this was included as part of the system state restore, and when I was on 5.9, I could have sworn that I was able to recover individual keys if needed. As a test, I restored the...

All of my magnetic primary storage policies have a synchronous aux copy to secondary disk. The primary copy is set for 1 week retention, and the secondary for 28 days. If I manually prune the only full copy from a primary storage policy, the next backup will be forced full - makes sense. My...

I discovered a but in 7.0 after I upgraded. Under 6.0, I had a specific naming schema with brackets, dashes and spaces for my centrally located media agent names so they would be at the top of the list (I have about 40 of them total). I am also running grid stor with load balanced / redundant...

Ok, I have a perplexing issue with one of my stand alone media agents. Windows Server 2003, Ultrium 960, Commvault 6.1 with all updates. No matter what type of backup I launch, after it writes a few gigs, I get the "Error occured in Library" message. There is nothing in the event viewer...

I have created several batch files to facilitate creating, mounting and deleting snapshots on my storage array for backup purposes. The environment variables, authentication and SSH client have been setup on a specific system so that I can enter the storage array CLI commands directly from the...

I have just implemented a different approach to backing up 2 very large volumes on my main file and print server. The "D" and "E" drives contain roughly 750 gigs each, and the full backup on Fridays was brining the server down to a crawl. I wrote a script that creates a snapshot of the drives...

I have a few subclients that back up to individual tape drives. Somtimes, when there is a gap in the time when each subclient backs up, I get a "Media in drive is already assigned" error in the job event viewer. I know there is plenty of space left on the tape. Is there a way to backup say a...

Ok I have a really strange one here. Last week, I had new media delivered to all of my remote locations. All are media agents with either AIT-100, LTO-2 or LTO-3 tape drives. All of the tape drives are set to automatically label the tape unless it has a label. Some labeled, some did not. No...

Is anyone using this feature in 6.1?

Has anyone written, or does anyone know of some useful scripts to use with Galaxy? I'd love to have a script that would check the CVMA log in each of my divisions and kill the backup job if there is no tape in the drive, and then notify my divisional IT personnel. Right now, I have a simple...

I get random "Failed to copy or verify chunk" errors while doing aux copys. DNS is rock solid, all servers have plenty of power. It happens when I try to aux copy over my gig-e connection from our data center. Nearly every component has been replaced on the gig-e connection. I've noticed...

Hi Everyone, I have a Windows Server 2003 box. It boots fine and operates normally, but when it gets to the login screen, it appears to be corrupt. I can still login, but I can't see any of the fields for the username, password, domain, etc. Luckily I am able to tab to the right fields even...

How does Commvault handle previously labeled media? For example, I have 10 tapes in a remote office that have been used with Legato and I want to use them with Commvault. Can I simply re-label them? Thanks.

After attending the Commvault admin class, I am anxious to make the move to Commvault. We will begin our installation on January 7th. I can hardly wait. I was very impressed with the features of the software. I look forward to sharing my experiences with everyone.

I'm a little confused about the maximum volume size for Windows Server 2003. I'm in the planning phase for our disk based backup solution. The backup device will be a 10TB SATA array. I'd like to carve out a 3.5TB partition for each of 3 servers as targets (Media Agents). Can I present a...

Hello everyone, I'm running Networker 7.1 on WS2K3. I have a W2K file and print server client with a ~300 gig volume that takes anywhere from 13 hours on a good night to over 16 hours for a full backup. Since this obviously runs into production during the week I have been performing...

Hello all. This may seem like an impractical approach to having a tape automatically eject, but hey, it works (kind of). I have several standalone networker servers in each of my divisions. The local IT contact just cant stand it that the tape doesn't automatically eject each night after...

In each of our divisional offices, I have a stand alone Networker Server (version 7.0, Win2K), with a single AIT-3 drive. The backups work great - except when the local IT contact forgets to put a tape in the drive, obviously. The savegroups then run all night and into the day until I stop the...

How would I configure Legato to fail a group after a specified time? For example, if the person who is responsible for rotating the tape does not, then I'd like the group to fail. Otherwise, when they remember to change the tape when they come in the next day, the tape is then mounted and the...

Hello, I've been testing the ASR process with a Windows XP client. I was able to backup the machine with no problems, and then recover the ASR and create the diskette. I then followed the procedure by booting with the OS cd, then inserting the diskette. Everything goes fine until the...
