Metallic.io backup solution allows you to collapse multiple disparate systems for easier backup
Prior to using Metallic, we had an on-prem backup solution through Dell. The existing infrastructure was aging out and the backup software was becoming unreliable. We also had multiple disparate systems that backed up additional infrastructure not supported by the Dell backup solution. This led to multiple portals to log on and multiple backup emails to review daily to confirm successful backups. We wanted a single backup solution that would give us a single pane of glass to monitor our backups. This includes Office 365 (Sharepoint, Email, Teams) as well as on-prem virtual infrastructure through VMware and IBM systems. Also backing up our on-prem file server.
- Office 365 Backup (Sharepoint, Email, Teams)
- Virtual Machine backup
- File Server backup
- Active Directory and Azure Active Directory Backup
- Error Logging and Error messages could be improved
- Documentation of Metallic functions vs existing commvault functions
- Backup Failures sometimes aren't explained
We are using all of our production environment for backups and replications.
- Backup
- Restore
- Automation
- Policies
- Move backup data between storage policies
Metallic is the software that not only backs up office 365 data but also helps us effortlessly retrieve deleted files and data. We use it across the company to run automated backups on a daily basis, and it has worked seamlessly with all office 365 applications. It is a flexible solution to back up and restore office 365 data in a secure way.
- Produces virtual air-gapped copies to secure files further.
- It is very simple and quick to configure the setup wizard.
- The retention policies for mail boxes are rigid and inflexible.

Metallic is a Great Backup Tool!
Metallic Office 365 Backup & Recovery is used in our environment to make sure we having a working and safe backup of our Office 365 environment. Their product ensures that everyone's entity in Office 365 is backed up and restorable. This is very important for us because we use Office 365 for user management through Azure and in case of any environmental we can restore easily.
- We can create backup jobs that are easily manageable to control when the environment gets backed up.
- No backup is good unless you can easily restore from it and Metallic does a very good job at organizing our backups and delivering a restored copy when needed.
- We are able to restore multiple Office 365 tenants allowing us to test backup processes.
- Metallic Backup & Recovery could do better at organizing the backups we take making them easier to find and sort between which backups contain different content.
- Metallic Backup & Recovery could improve on creating retention policies for the backups that are taken so that they are not filling up without us knowing.
- Sometimes loading the data from Office 365 takes a long time in Metallic so we'd like to see an improvement on the communication between Office 365 and Metallic.
We currently employ Commvault Backup and Recovery in our high education institution as our primary backup, recovery, and DR platform for a variety of data classes and clients across the organization. Our central IT team has used Commvault for backing up individual VMs, files at the file-system level, databases such as Oracle, MariaDB, Postgres, and MSSQL, as well as cloud resources like EC2 instances.
- Organized policy-based configuration
- Variety of client types
- Deduplication of Backup Data
- It is a complicated environment for the new user
- Copy rules are not very clear
- Browse for Restore functionality does not always give desired results
We have been using Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] for over 5 years in my company. We use the solution to backup part of our Virtual infrastructure and some file servers to tape. The possibility to implement it across many platforms such Virtual environment, File Servers and is a biggest challenges was to backup and protect data on a large scale of different environments but Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] is the best way to facilitate management and have a single view of backup processes. Our biggest challenge was to abandon our old tape backup software. Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] brought us a better interface and a greater reduction in support costs.
- Simple interface
- Virtual machines backup quickly and completely
- Centralized management
- Good Duplication ratio
- Integration with NetApp storage and Esxi
- The time to restore process could be better.
- The Commvault support need an error to start a case
- Some complex to implement

A very complete backup tool
Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery is currently being used on one of our main datacenters, in Brazil.
We use it to backup our NetApp storage with around 900TB of user data (CIFS and NFS shares), it also protects around 100 general application VMs and our Oracle databases running on both OVM and Exadata.
Commvault has a great integration with NetApp storages (we actually started using for NetApp backups only, at that time it was sold with NetApp as a 'feature' called SnapProtect).
It allowed us to completely retire our tape libraries as now we run backups directly to Cloud object storages. It's deduplication algorithm works really well and ensures we only upload the modified data.

Commvault is a great backup & recovery solution
We use Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] to back up hundreds of virtual machines across two big clusters; we also back up large Oracle databases via RMAN. We have media agents at two different data centers, and replicate our backups to an off-site colocation facility for DR. In the past we had run host-based backups, but have switched to covering entire VMs. All of our central IT assets are covered. It provides us the ability to recover entire systems as well as our major line-of-business applications.
- Backs up virtual machines quickly and completely.
- Integrates well with Oracle's built-in RMAN tools for recovery & cloning, making success much more likely.
- Produces really good logs.
- Runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with minimal changes to the clients.
- For database restores, it has to restore the entire database in order to recover just one table.
- Backups of virtual machines with direct attached storage is difficult.
- I wish it covered cloud assets more thoroughly, like AWS ELBs and Security Groups.

All corporate data is backed up each hour. You can set the SLA to meet your needs.
- File level restore
- Retains permissions
- Hourly backups

Commvault is a Top player in Complete backup and Recovery
Commvault is an enterprise-level tool that we use to backup all kinds of workloads. I have implemented Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery in many Enterprise-level, Corporate banks and financial companies to mitigate their data loss and compliance with their audit requirements. I have implemented it across many platforms such as MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, AIX, Exchange, VMware, Azure, Office 365, Hyper-V, Loutas Note, Windows FS/Unix FS backups and many cloud storage and virtual environments. Commvault DR option as well. We especially used Backup replication (Dash Copy), VM Replication (Live sync) and DB replication and VM life cycling process. Customers like the Commvault CommCell console, it is a single console solution.
- Commvault has better Duplication ratio.
- Commvault is good at reports and audit trails. We won't miss anything which is required for our audit.
- Support team is very responsive and provides confidence in solutions and good follow through until the problem is rectified or solved.
- It does not have any agent for Zimbra mail backup.
- It has to provide or should come up with supporting smaller environments.
- I would like to keep using the java console instead of using the Command Center.

Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery Review
We use Commvault across our entire company. In the US, we have each location split as a division. Each division has its own media agent, storage, and permissions group. All reports go to divisional directors and staff as well as visuals for Command Center. This setup isolates each location to only be able to view their items. This reduces stress on local staff and allows me and my team to focus on big-picture disaster recovery. This setup really helps with off-loading restorations and live data to other divisions as tests or failover scenarios.
- Backup
- Reports
- Duplication
- Options
- Active Directory
- Non-SQL database support
- AD restores

- Brings us "peace of mind" on a reliable tool.
- Have a very good support organization with really qualified technicians.
- Maybe more deep CLI documentation (both "q" commands and SQL).

Commvault: Complete BaaS solution
CCL/Revera's Backup-as-a-Service (BAAS) offering uses Commvault as its Backup & Recovery solution. The good thing about Commvault is that it covers all sorts of customer backup requirements and have a very flexible restore option. For example, we can backup supplicated databases (like DB2, SQL, Oracle, etc) using Application iDataAgent and if required, we can export backup data in application native formats.
The backup data replication and storage policy setup architecture makes Commvault the top product as you can tailor your storage policy depending on any requirements. The Global Deduplication feature offers exceptional savings.

Commvault in my company
Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery is used at DaVita to ensure our data protection meets Federal guidelines and supports our Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Needs.
- Commvault is the Swiss Army knife for data protection in an Enterprise environment. You name the environment and Commvvault has something to protect it. Very helpful in this on-prem/off-prem world that is developing into a DevOps world.
- Improves our Disaster Recovery
- Starting to utilize for data migration for VMware in places where Zerto is too expensive
- Would be good to improve simplicity. Obviously, with the hundreds of different types of OSs, we have to support this is a challenge. However, I think Commvault is committed to significant improvements in 2020.
- Not quite a ding as more of an acknowledgment of the need to improve Google Cloud data protection. The biggest problem is Google is just ramping up their cloud features/functions which hinders Commvault to provide that so, Commvault is getting there.
We utilize Commvault as a service offering to our client base and have done so for the past 10 years, delivering a data protection service that is the largest in the country.
- Reliability
- Options for protecting different workloads
- Support structure with ESP and TAM
- Development cycle and adoption of client requested modifications/enhancements
- Integration of the personalization teams TAPI functionality into core product to increase speed of new functionality rollout.
- Automation around agent installation for MSPs
- Dynamic workload allocation, so automatically pausing and resuming workloads automagically so any late-night failures because of any network or client issue could be tried again during the backup window, potentially multiple times.

With Commvault, One Size Does Fit (Almost) All
We host servers for many Oregon governmental agencies. The backup team is responsible for providing the necessary backups for these agencies to ensure the safety of Oregon's data assets.

It is used across the organization and we use on-prem and cloud instances. The nature of our business requires a comprehensive and capable product that is easy to configure and deploy from remote locations.
- Easy to use interface on top of a comprehensive and trustworthy platform.
- Policy-based capabilities allow plans that can be easily duplicated and deployed, saving time and helping to ensure assets are protected.
- The system is very well thought out, the built-in deduplication capabilities save over wire data transmission reducing the throughput and network congestion.
- Support for encryption
- Hardware requirements are pretty steep, but understandable for a product that is as comprehensive as Commvault.
- There is a pretty steep learning curve and the training is a must for a product with the complexity and capabilities of Commvault.
