Program Overview: What is Commvault?
Commvault is a 24-hour hands-on program for backup administrators, infrastructure engineers, and IT operations teams responsible for data protection. It covers Commvault architecture and deployment, backup policies and schedules, MediaAgents and storage planning, recovery operations and disaster recovery, and monitoring with troubleshooting. Labs build toward dependable administration, tested recovery, and the monitoring habits that keep backup success rates high.
Training runs across six modules with six practice sessions in live lab environments. Participants deploy Commvault components, configure backup policies and client schedules, plan MediaAgent storage capacity, execute recovery operations, and build monitoring dashboards with alerting. Instructors review each build, coaching on design choices, recovery-time tradeoffs, and root-cause troubleshooting. The program closes with a capstone in which teams deliver a full protection and recovery build from architecture to tested restore.
Untested protection fails quietly: backups that never ran, restores measured in days, storage costs climbing without a plan. Every unproven recovery turns the next outage into a crisis. This program teaches teams to run protection as a discipline: policies that fit the business, storage sized ahead of growth, recovery tested before it is needed.
The capstone asks for a working system, not a slide deck: a full protection and recovery build the team designs, deploys, and proves. Each team delivers an environment with deployed Commvault components, configured backup policies and schedules, a MediaAgent storage and capacity plan, a documented disaster recovery runbook, monitoring dashboards with alerting, and a restore the team actually executed and timed. The build goes back to work as the reference architecture the team can defend in the next outage review.
Across six modules, teams move from platform architecture to a full capstone protection build. The program focuses on dependable system administration, tested disaster recovery, and monitoring practices that keep backup success rates high and recovery times short.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Commvault comes after backup and recovery basics, so your team knows the design principles before configuring the product. Ransomware readiness then tests whether those backups really support recovery from an attack, and business continuity ties recovery into the organisation's wider plans.

Build Commvault Protection Workflows With Demonstrated Recovery and Operational Evidence
Edstellar connects Commvault architecture with policy design, storage planning, restoration, and monitoring. Participants configure a training environment and investigate backup failures before presenting an integrated protection plan. The final review emphasizes tested restores, capacity assumptions, and the documentation needed to explain how the proposed design supports its recovery requirements.
- Step 01
Consult
We review backup concepts and administration responsibilities to identify gaps in Commvault policies, storage architecture, capacity planning, restoration, and job troubleshooting.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish core components before policies and schedules, MediaAgents and storage, recovery exercises, and monitoring, then integrate the protection and recovery build.
- Step 03
Align
We align data-protection instruction with backup, storage, and operations roles, confirming server familiarity and lab arrangements suited to the cohort's workloads.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample subclients, storage targets, growth assumptions, and failing jobs to representative estates while keeping training restores separate from live data.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants configure policies, model capacity, perform restores, and diagnose failed jobs, receiving feedback on dependencies, recovery evidence, and the usefulness of alerts.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the protection plan for coherent policies, justified storage capacity, demonstrated recovery steps, and clear monitoring and troubleshooting documentation.
