[Read brief](https://www.commvault.com/resources/solution-brief/the-power-of-air-gap) --- ## Frequently Asked Questions What is Commvault AirGap? Commvault AirGap is an air- gapped backup solutioncloud storage capability that helps protect backup data with air-gapped, immutable cloud storage built for faster cyber recovery. It creates an offsite isolated copy designed to support restore readiness, data security, and recovery operations. How is air gapped backup different from immutable backup? Air- gapped backup isolates a protected copy from production access paths, while immutable backup is designed so stored data cannot be changed for the defined retention period. Commvault AirGap combines offsite isolation with immutability to strengthen air gap security. Which clouds does Commvault AirGap support? Commvault AirGap supports protected storage choices across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, helping organizations align an immutable backup strategy to cloud, recovery, and data security requirements. How does Commvault AirGap help with compliance? Commvault AirGap helps support compliance by maintaining isolated, immutable backup copies with retention tier options and security controls that can help organizations meet data protection, audit, and restore validation requirements. How do you buy Commvault AirGap? Commvault AirGap is an add-on to any protected workload. --- See it in action ## Get a demo Protect backup data with air-gapped, immutable cloud storage built for faster cyber recovery.
