Notes

  1. Cross-region backups are not supported.

  2. Cross-region backups within the same cloud service provider are supported. Configuring a secondary copy in a different region will result in egress charges.

  3. To enable cross-region copies using Air Gap Protect, contact Commvault Cloud support.

  4. Cross-cloud backups are supported only with backup gateways. Configuring a secondary copy in a different region will result in egress charges.

  5. This storage option applies only to on-premises workloads.

  6. This storage option is available only if you skip the local storage configuration.
