Why it matters

## Capability Benefits

Recover the way cloud developers need it: fast, precise, and in place.

---

## Recover at cloud scale

Objects return to a chosen version where they already sit; nothing is copied back from a vault.

![](https://www.commvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Hybrid-File-Stores.svg)

---

## Object, prefix, partition or bucket

You roll back one object, one prefix, one DynamoDB partition, or a full bucket.

## Pick the point before the damage

Choose the exact point before the bad deploy, the lifecycle rule, or the attack.

## No extra copies to store

Rollback works from S3 Versioning, so resilience does not mean a second copy of the bucket.

---

## Billions of objects, one job

Automation does what would otherwise require extensive manual effort: version by version across an entire bucket.

## S3, DynamoDB and Iceberg tables

The same rollback model for object storage, NoSQL tables and lakehouse tables.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What is in-place rollback?

In-place rollback returns cloud data to a chosen version at a chosen point in time without copying it back from a vault. For Amazon S3 it works from object versioning; for DynamoDB it restores a table or partition to a prior state; for Apache Iceberg it restores the table with its metadata intact. Billions of objects, one operation.

Can I just use S3 Versioning to recover my objects?

Amazon S3 Versioning lets you return an object to an earlier version, with manual recovery performed object by object. Modern applications and AI workloads need that across entire buckets of millions or billions of objects, impractical by hand. In-place rollback automates it, reverting objects to a chosen version and point in time at cloud scale.

Does rollback require S3 Versioning to be enabled?

Yes. Rollback for Amazon S3 uses the versions S3 already keeps, which is why it needs no additional vault copies. Versioning is a cloud best practice most organizations already enable; CloudRecover makes those versions usable at scale.

How far back can I roll back?

As far as the versions and recovery points you retain. Rollback uses the versions kept under your S3 lifecycle settings and, for DynamoDB and Iceberg, the recovery points held in your CloudRecover policy, so retention is yours to set.

Does in-place rollback work for DynamoDB and Iceberg tables?

Yes. DynamoDB tables and partitions can be returned to a prior state, precise to the second, without creating a new table. Apache Iceberg tables on AWS, including S3 Tables, are restored with their metadata and manifests intact, so there is no manual rebuild of the table structure.
