Commvault® software provides various methods for controlling data protection, recovery and administrative jobs. These methods control network utilization, system backup windows, job activity blackout periods, and system resource usage.
Managing Active Jobs
The Job Controller manages all active jobs within the CommCell® environment. Regardless of which method is used to initiate a job (schedule, on demand, or script), the job appears in the Job Controller in the CommCell® console.

Common actions that are conducted from the Job Controller:
