Configuring Automatic Uploads of Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups to Commvault Cloud

You can automatically upload copies of DR backups to Commvault Cloud.

If you need to rebuild the CommServe server, and both the CommServe server and the destination are unusable — such as after a ransomware attack — you can use the DR backup in the cloud.

Note

  • DR backups are uploaded and stored in Azure, directly from your CommServe.

  • 5 DR backup copy, with the latest Differential copy (if any), is retained in the cloud for 90 days.

For additional information on how DR Backups are stored and managed, see Uploading DR Backups to Commvault Cloud.

Before You Begin

  • Verify that the CommServe computer is registered to access Commvault Cloud Services. For more information about registering the CommServe computer, see Register Your Product.

  • Verify that the URLs, https://*.blob.core.windows.net and https://cvdrservices.metallic.io, are added to the allowlist. All endpoints that contain .blob.core.windows.net must be whitelisted.

  • If the CommServe network uses HTTPS inspection or if an HTTP proxy is configured and has its own certificate-signing CA, add the root CA to the curl-ca-bundle.crt file in the base directory to avoid any verification failure. For more information, see KB article 59941.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Console ribbon, on the Home tab, click Control Panel.

  2. Under Maintenance, click DR Backup.

    From the DR Backup Settings dialog box, select the Upload backup metadata to Metallic Cloud check box.

  3. Click OK.

Result

Whenever a DR backup is performed, a copy of the DR data will be uploaded to the Commvault Cloud Services Portal. (This is in addition to the network share or local drive specified for DR backups.)
