TL;DR

  • File server deployment in Command Center supports Windows and Unix systems through a guided remote installation workflow that automatically deploys agents and applies protection plans.
  • Default configuration protects all server contents unless exclusions are specified, with automatic creation of subclients and support for custom SSH keys and installation paths.
  • Advanced features including activity control, snap backup, content indexing, and threat analysis can be enabled post-deployment through the Configuration tab for enhanced protection capabilities.

Summary

This tutorial demonstrates the complete workflow for adding and protecting file servers in Commvault Command Center. The process begins by navigating to the File Servers section and selecting Add Server, where administrators choose from supported vendor types including generic Windows and Unix-based systems. The remote installation workflow requires server credentials, OS selection, and proper firewall configuration, with options for custom SSH keys and non-standard installation paths on Unix systems. After selecting a protection plan and defining backup content, Commvault automatically deploys the File System Agent and creates default subclients configured to protect all server data. The demonstration concludes by showing how to verify deployment, review advanced configuration options including snap backup and threat analysis, and trigger an immediate backup where selecting incremental automatically performs a full backup on first run.
