Publication number: 20260105152Abstract: After completion of a backup job, the illustrative system performs a threat analysis of the freshly generated backup copies. Each copy is restored at a secure storage area. The system scans the restored data using, preferably, a signature-based malware scanning engine. If the scan finds malware infection or some other unsafe condition, a tracking index is updated to indicate that the copy is unsafe, and the secondary copy is quarantined. The quarantine prevents the copy from being restored to the production environment, and from acting as a source for other copies. The system iterates, scanning preceding versions of the copy, updating the index, and quarantining, until a clean or uninfected copy is found. The clean copy is so indexed. Responsive to a restore request, the illustrative system automatically restores the clean copy and skips over the infected copy/copies, preferably without asking the requesting user for input or approval.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2025Publication date: April 16, 2026Applicant: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jitin JINDAL, Arun Prasad AMARENDRAN, Raghuveer SAGAR, David M.

Publication number: 20250328432Abstract: An information management security health monitoring system is provided herein that can monitor the security health of one or more information management systems, identify any security issues that are occurring within an information management system, and automatically, or in response to a user input, transmit an instruction to the information management system to execute a workflow to resolve the security issue(s). For example, the information management cell health monitoring system receives security data and security policies, and/or similar data from an information management cell(s) via a network. The system analyzes the received information to identify any issues. If an issue is detected, the information management security health monitoring system retrieves workflows and determines whether any of the workflows can be used to resolve the detected issue.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2025Publication date: October 23, 2025Applicant: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Dinesh KRAPLANEE, Vinudass RAVI, Bheemesh R.

Publication number: 20250173317Abstract: Systems and processes disclosed herein perform an automatic remediation process. The automatic remediation process may be a log-based remediation process. Systems disclosed herein may obtain log files from an information management system and determine the occurrence of errors at the information management system based on error codes included in the logs. Further, the systems may access a knowledgebase to determine whether solutions for the errors have been previously generated. The solutions may include patches or hotfixes that can be applied to the information management system without removing user-access or stopping execution of the information management system. The systems may automatically update the information management system to address the errors. Alternatively, or in addition, the systems may alert a user, such as an administrator, of the existence of a solution to the error, and whether the solution may be applied without interrupting service or access to the information management system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2025Publication date: May 29, 2025Applicant: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Bheemesh R.
