Learn what backup is—a copy of data that protects against hardware failures, human errors, and natural disasters, and explore storage options from disk to cloud storage and archival.
RPO(Recovery Point Objective) & RTO(Recovery Time Objective) are two basic parameters to understand before implementing a backup solution
Majorly there are 4 Types of backups
Full
Incremental
Differential
Synthetic Full

Commvault - Product Overview
Learn the three core elements of Commvault architecture—console, media agents, and client computers—and how backups, duplication, and intelligent data agents protect data across on premise data center and cloud storage.
Deploy a CommVault console on Microsoft Azure using a free trial, creating a resource group, a Windows virtual machine, and the CommVault trial image, then access the admin console.
Learn how to deploy CommServe from an AWS AMI by launching an EC2 instance, selecting the Cornwall concert image, configuring security groups, and accessing the CommServe console.
Navigate the Commvault commcell GUI, review licensing options and the job controller, and explore storage policies, libraries, media agents, domain integration, and single sign-on.
Configure S3 storage as a disk library for backups by creating an S3 bucket, setting access with an IAM role, and linking it to a storage policy for 30-day retention.
Install the Commvault data agent on a Windows AWS instance, configure network and security, register the client with CommServe, and run a file system backup with monitoring.
Install the Commvault SQL data agent on an AWS instance, connect to the server, create a user database, and prepare backups via the console.
Learn how ephemeral ports are short-lived endpoints created by the operating system. Open the 1024–65535 range in security groups to enable app communication in aws or azure.
Perform restores of file systems and SQL databases using browse and restore, choose latest or specific point in time, rename destinations, and verify restoration across same or different destinations.
Here is procedure for deployment of SAP HANA, I tried to explain basics of SAP HANA Database for which we shall configure HANA DB backups in Next Lecture
In this Video we shall install SAP Hana IDA , create sudo client & perform backup, once backup is performed also test restore
Install Commvault software on Windows, configure DNS and Active Directory in AWS, join the server to the CV dot com domain, and deploy a media agent.
Register your commserve installation, enter activation key, and sign in to the command center to begin setup, configure email, create a storage pool and library, and deploy a media agent.
Download Commvault software and expand the C drive to prepare the system. Copy the software to an Amazon S3 bucket with CloudBerry Explorer, then verify via the Amazon S3 console.
deploy a linux machine, copy media agent binaries from an S3 bucket, install the com world media agent software, configure hostname, join the domain, and verify connectivity.
Learn how to join a Linux server to Active Directory, configure DNS entries, install required packages, enable password authentication, and log in with domain credentials.
Create an S3 disk library, configure IAM access, and build a 14-day cloud storage policy in Commvault for AWS backup workflows.
Learn how storage policies govern data retention, storage location, and backup behavior in Commvault, including primary and secondary copies, data application databases, and cycle-driven retention rules.
Learn how to design schedule policies that trigger backup jobs by periodic intervals, link them to storage policies, and create sub policies for full, differential, and log backups.
Learn how deduplication removes redundant backup data by chunking into 128 KiB blocks, hashing to generate signatures, storing new blocks, and updating references for storage savings.
Explore global data application storage policy and global duplication policy, unifying multiple policies under a single duplication database while managing retention and library resources.
Learn how to perform push installation of Commonwealth binaries via the concert console on Windows servers, configure media agents, join to domain, and troubleshoot firewall and DNS issues.
Learn to configure a grid store with two media agents sharing a disk library for load sharing in Commvault, including automated mount parts detection and data duplication partitions.
Discover how to perform a Commserve disaster recovery restore using the disaster recovery management tool, including provisioning a DR host, applying a DR backup, and updating hostnames, IPs, and clients.
In this Course you will understand Core concepts of Commvault Software, De-Duplication, Backup and Recovery, Disaster Recovery.
we shall begin with deploying commserve software in AWS, followed by configuring S3 Storage as Disk library, then install respective components and perform Backup & Restores.
In second half of the course we shall setup Commvault Software for Data center Solution, which covers advance concepts of Commvault.
