Agentless backups and restores |
Install the Virtual Server Agent on an Oracle Cloud Classic instance to act as a VSA proxy. A VSA proxy manages backup and restore operations for guest instances in your environment, eliminating the need to install agents on guest instances. |
|
|
"Incremental forever" data protection |
After an initial full backup, you can perform ongoing incremental backups to capture changes for the source instance. |
|
|
Restores |
You can restore full instances or guest files and folders. |
|
|
Single point of administration |
The CommCell Console provides advanced options for Commvault operations. Using the CommCell Console, you can configure a virtualization client that serves as a single point of administration for an Oracle Cloud endpoint. You can perform backups and restores from the virtualization client, and perform other administrative tasks such as creating schedules and generating reports. |
|
|
Automatic protection for all instances |
By default, all instances are automatically selected for backup, to ensure that all instances are backed up. |
|
|
Instance conversion |
When restoring an instance, you can choose to restore to a different hypervisor. This capability can be used to migrate instances to a different virtualization platform. |
|
|
Reports |
You can view information about each backed up instance, including information such as size of the data and the guest operating system. |

Policy-driven data protection |
Policies drive operations to meet service level agreements (SLAs). |
|
|
Block-level deduplication |
Block-level deduplication compares blocks of data during backups. If instances contain identical blocks of data, block-level deduplication eliminates the storage of redundant data and reduces the size of data in storage. |
|
|
Built-in compression |
Commvault storage policies automatically enable compression to reduce the quantity of data sent to storage. |
