CommVault SQL Server iDataAgent (Instance001) 8.0

CommVault SQL Server iDataAgent (Instance001) is a component of the Commvault data protection platform that provides application‑aware backup and recovery for Microsoft SQL Server. Developed by CommVault Systems, it protects standalone servers, failover clusters, and Always On availability groups with consistent backups and flexible restore options.

Key capabilities include:

• Full, differential, and transaction log backups for point‑in‑time recovery
• Application‑consistent protection using Microsoft VSS and Commvault IntelliSnap (where supported)
• Granular restores at the database, file, and filegroup levels, with in‑place or out‑of‑place recovery
• Automated log management and log truncation after successful backups
• Policy‑driven scheduling, retention, encryption, compression, and global deduplication
• Centralized management, reporting, and role‑based access via the CommCell Console

“Instance001” identifies a specific agent instance on the host. This allows separate configurations, credentials, and content selection for a particular SQL Server instance, enabling parallel protection of multiple SQL Server instances on the same machine.
