Commvault allows users to move their backup datasets to the Active Tier location (that is MTree) and from there, files are moved to cloud using DD series data-movement commands.
Note: Commvault is supported with multiple cloud vendors. The following example is for ECS.
sysadmin@datadomain# cloud profile add ECS
Enter provider name (aws|azure|virtustream|ecs|s3_flexible): ecs
Enter the access key:
Enter the secret key:
Enter the endpoint: http://load-vm1.chaos.local:9020
Do you want to enter proxy details? (yes |no) [no]: no

# filesys report generate file-location path <MTree path>.
Ensure that the backup dataset is moved to the DD series appliance Active Tier.
Move files from Active Tier to Clolud Tier as follows:
# data-movement policy show
sysadmin@datadomain# data-movement policy set age-threshold 14 to-tier cloud cloud-unit ecs-unit1 mtrees /data/col1/ltr1
The data-movement age-threshold policy is set to "14" days for the following MTree(s):
/data/col1/ltr1

sysadmin@datadomain# data-movement policy show
MTree Target (Tier/Unit Name) Policy Value
