Learn how to restore data from backups using Commvault, explore restore options and history, perform a hands-on restore to a destination path from object storage such as an S3 bucket.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of backup and restore concepts and craft policies aligned with business needs. Configure schedules and strategies to enable quick, reliable restores to system or external devices.

Explore disaster recovery and data replication fundamentals, configure replication and failover in Commvault Metallic, and test and validate disaster recovery plans to ensure data continuity and minimized downtime.

Set up data replication to offsite cloud storage and configure automatic failover to a backup system when the primary fails, using primary and secondary copies and retention settings.

Test and validate disaster recovery plans to identify vulnerabilities and refine procedures. Ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance for confident, reliable recovery.

Practice disaster recovery by simulating an AWS S3 outage, restoring data from primary and secondary storage in Commvault, including email authorization and in place restoration.

Master replication and failover to support disaster recovery, ensure data redundancy, and conduct effective testing for timely restoration and business continuity.

Explore data deduplication and compression in metallic, learning how dedupe eliminates redundant data and stores a copy on the source and target sides, while monitoring efficiency to reduce storage.

Explore data deduplication and compression to remove duplicate data and optimize storage, boosting performance for applications using data sets. Some databases, such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL, may not benefit.

Learn to configure deduplication settings in cobalt metallic to remove duplicates across backups and store unique data in a remote location via the advanced command center.

Explore advanced backup techniques in Commvault Metallic, including application aware backups, granular file and folder restores, and snapshot types like CBT, with endpoint backup and cloud and on‑premises protection.

Learn how application-aware backups for databases and virtual machines ensure data consistency by capturing in-memory data and pending transactions, boosting recovery options across multi-cloud environments.

Master granular file and folder level backups to restore individual items from backup sets, including image-level vm backups, for efficient recovery and reduced data loss.

Explore how snapshots and changed block tracking streamline point-in-time data recovery, automate snapshot management, and unify hardware snapshot administration across storage arrays with Intelli Snap.

Master backup techniques, including advanced methods for databases, virtual machines, and object storages, gain granular restoration skills, and leverage CBT and snapshots for faster data protection.

Explore data archiving and long-term retention, and learn how archiving policies in Commvault Metallic help move inactive data to secondary storage, improving performance, compliance, and cost efficiency.

Set up archiving policies and plans in Metallic to automate data retention and expiration, aligning retention periods with regulatory requirements and business needs while ensuring data integrity and accessibility.

Develop and implement long-term data retention strategies to preserve historical records, meet regulatory requirements, and balance storage costs while ensuring data integrity and security.

Archiving data enables long-term retention and regulatory compliance, while clear archiving policies optimize storage, ensure retention for required periods, and support efficient data lifecycle management.

Explore the fundamentals of security and encryption, including symmetric and asymmetric methods, key management, securing backups, and layered protections like access controls, firewalls, multi-factor authentication, and updates.

Commvault metallic provides encryption for data in flight and at rest in SaaS backups, with air-gapped immutable copies to keep backups unreadable and protected from threats.

Learn how to enable encryption and security for backups stored on Commvault servers by turning on encryption for cloud storage in metallic cobalt and configuring access policies for admin users.

Discover encryption keys in metallic, including AWS KMS, KMIP, passphrase, and Azure Key Vault, and learn practical steps to secure cloud backups.

Protect sensitive information through data security and encryption as core data-management measures. Implement encryption during storage and transmission, secure backups to maintain data integrity, and manage encryption keys for recovery.

Learn to monitor cobalt operations and performance, generate reports and analytics, and configure alerts in the metallic cobalt dashboard to ensure real-time data backup, security posture, and audit trails.

Learn to configure the built-in alerts and notifications system in metallic to monitor backup failures and storage capacity, view alerts in the dashboard, and receive email alerts.

Monitor operations and performance for data management. Leverage Cobalt's reporting and analytic capabilities to gain insights into data usage and backup success, and configure alerts for response to protect availability.
