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

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.

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 information about creating a new cloud user account and associating it with your CommServer server, see Registering a CommServe Server on the Cloud Services Portal.

  For information about associated an existing cloud user account with CommServe server, see Associating Users with a CommServe Server.

• 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 on the Commserve machine. Additionally, verify that https://cvdrservices.metallic.io is allowlisted on all Commvault web server machines.

• 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 navigation pane, go to Manage > System.

   The System page appears.

2. Click the Maintenance tile.

   The Maintenance page appears.

3. Click the DR backup (Daily) tile.

4. Click the edit icon .

   The DR backup (Daily) dialob box appears.

5. Move the Upload backup metadata to Commvault Cloud toggle key to the right.

6. To upload DR backups to the Commvault Cloud, from the Select region list, select the region.

   Note

   When you select a new region, existing DR backups will remain in the current region while all future backups will be uploaded to the newly selected region. Upon modifying the region, the next DR backup job will be executed as FULL backup even if it was scheduled to run as DIFF.

   For information about regions supported for DR backups, see Regions Supported by DR Backups in Commvault cloud (Azure)

7. Click Save.

Results

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