Short Introduction
+
The Commvault software can be used as a full service of RWTH Aachen University for data storage. All backed-up data is not stored in Paderborn, but in Aachen. The entire operation runs via a web interface, including the restoration of data. Only one client is installed on the computer that is to be backed up, through which no commands can be issued. Authorizations are regulated via group memberships in the service portal. Each computer being backed up is a member of exactly one group, but each admin can be a member of several groups.

===Install client===
 +
In order for a computer to be backed up, the corresponding client must first be installed. The installation packages can be downloaded from the campus network:
 +
 
 +
* Network storage Windows
 +
:<code>\\fs-cifs\upb\departments\imt\public\download\pc-nonfree\Commvault</code>
 +
 
 +
* Network storage Linux
 +
:<code>/upb/departments/imt/public/download/pc-nonfree/Commvault</code>
 +
 
 +
* Network storage for macOS
 +
:<code>smb://fs-cifs.uni-paderborn.de/upb/departments/imt/public/download/pc-nonfree/Commvault</code>

The installer also initially registers the computer in the Commvault server in Aachen. However, it is not yet assigned to a group. For this step, it is necessary to log in to the Commvault portal.

===Setting up a backup===
 +
If a computer is assigned to a group, it appears under ''"Protect/File servers"''. A backup plan must be assigned to it so that it performs a backup once a night. Backup plans with different names are available for Paderborn University, but these differ only in the storage systems used, so the aim is to distribute the load. Currently, the '''"ServerplanE"''' plan should preferably be used. The assignment can be made either in the list via the three-dot menu on the right or in the detailed view of the computer.
