Commvault provides a Data Import solution that you can use to import historical long-term data protected by a third-party backup vendor software to the Commvault repository. The third-party backup jobs are restored as files, and then backed up using the Commvault File System agent. 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.
After you migrate 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 third-party migration for supported agents, contact your Sales or Customer Success team for assistance with purchasing the app.
