It is way more complex that Backup exec IMHO.
I could work BE no problem at all. Troubleshooting was a breeze.
However We have changed from full backups every night to incrementals and auxillary etc etc
OK. Here goes.
Commvault marks a tape as bad. It's almost new - written once. Is it worth trying to erase and re-use?
Or do I chuck it ? If chucked do I lose only the data on the tape or other stuff from thebackup cycle?
An aux copy is a secondary copy of a backup yes? Does it contain exactly the same info, just in another location?
What does Archiver data ret actually mean?
I have an aux copy to tape as per attached. 30 days 2 cycles.
Why am I not reusing tapes after 89 days?
Why do some have a return date of never, and some next year?

Hi,
I am a Technical Consultant that specialises in CommVault. I have implemented it many times in very large environment without any issues. It is complex software but that is only due to the huge amount of features it has. The usability of it one of the easiest compared to NetBackup and TSM. If you have a few straight forward questions please ask however if you need more bespoke training on the product and depending on where you are you could contact GlassHouse Technologies. If you are in the UK they will definitely be able to help however I am not sure if we have any specialists in the US but worth checking.
