Commvault provides a data import solution that you can use to import data protected by a third-party software to Commvault repository. The third-party backup jobs are restored as files, and then backed up using the Commvault File System agent.
After you import the data, users can access and manage the files from the Command Center.
Note
The Data Import app is accessible only for the Commvault professional services team. To use the app, contact your account representative and discuss a Professional Services engagement. To enable data import for supported agents, contact your Sales or Customer Success team for assistance with purchasing the app.

Supported Data Types
Data import is supported for file system and Virtual Machine data. For example, this solution is not applicable if you have third-party data, such as Oracle or MSSQL data, that cannot be restored as files. The Data Import solution allows importing file data along with attributes such as ACL, modified time, and creation time, as long as the source third-party application supports restoring these attributes.
