Commvault, a leader in cyber resilience and data protection for hybrid cloud environments, has unveiled Clumio Backtrack—a groundbreaking capability designed to empower enterprises with near-instant recovery of massive datasets stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). With Clumio Backtrack, organisations can easily and automatically restore data to specific points in time, enabling rapid recovery from errors, accidents, or cyberattacks.
This innovation goes far beyond conventional recovery capabilities, offering scalability to handle datasets of virtually any size, from individual objects to entire Amazon S3 buckets containing billions of objects.
Transforming Large-Scale Data Recovery
Building on Amazon S3 Versioning, Clumio Backtrack allows businesses to recover data on an unprecedented scale. While current tools facilitate object-level recovery, Commvault’s new technology dynamically scales through a serverless architecture, enabling entire datasets to be reverted to earlier versions in seconds.
This capability is invaluable in scenarios such as:
- Recovering mistakenly deleted data.
- Reverting to a clean state after an application processes corrupt data.
- Restoring data following a cyberattack involving encryption or ransom demands.
“Businesses need fast, scalable, and secure recovery solutions for today’s complex data environments,” said Woon Jung, CTO – Cloud Native at Commvault. “Clumio Backtrack provides granular, point-in-time recovery across billions of objects, enhancing operational resilience for cloud-first enterprises.”
Meeting the Demands of AI-Driven Data Growth
With the global cloud AI market projected to exceed $647 billion by 2030, the demand for object storage services like Amazon S3 is skyrocketing. These services are critical for managing the complexity and volume of AI and machine learning workloads.
Raphael Meyerowitz, Partner Go to Market VP at Presidio, emphasised the value of the solution, stating:
“Commvault’s Clumio Backtrack equips enterprises with the agility and resilience they need in today’s cloud-driven world. This innovation ensures rapid recovery for even the most complex challenges in large-scale AWS environments.”
Extending Commvault’s Cyber Resilience Portfolio
Clumio Backtrack is the latest in a series of innovations from Commvault, following the acquisition of Clumio and the introduction of tools like Cloud Rewind™, Air Gap Protect, and Cleanroom™ Recovery. These solutions underline Commvault’s commitment to enhancing cyber resilience and operational continuity for cloud-first enterprises.
Availability
Early access to Clumio Backtrack will be available in December 2024, with general availability slated for early 2025.
Commvault continues to redefine secure, scalable, and efficient cloud data recovery—turning back time for enterprises when they need it most.
