Configuration of the Export Destination for Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups

Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups are executed using the following phases:

• Export

  During the export phase, the software copies a metadata backup of the CommServe database to the default staging directory that is in software_installation_directory\CommserveDR.

  Note

  The staging directory should not be on a mounted path or should not use a symbolic link. In such cases, contact your software provider to change the default staging directory.

  You can specify a local path or a network path as a destination location to export the metadata.

  You can set up the following additional export destinations:

  • Commvault Cloud Services portal

  • Cloud storage library

  Note

  Recommended:

  • Store the DR backup in a network location that is accessible from both the CommServe hosts.

  • Do not use administrative shares as an export location. For example, \\MyServer\E$\.

  • Use an UNC path to access the location. Local disk or local clustered disk is not safe and is not a common practice.

• Backup
