Key Capabilities

Unify protection and cyber recovery across hybrid and multi-cloud. Recover confidently with clean recovery, unified governance, and evidence to support RPO/RTO readiness.


Unified protection

Protect everything across hybrid estates

Enterprise-grade backup for VMs, containers, databases, applications, endpoints, and files—managed through a unified control plane for consistent coverage. 


Policy control

Governed operations and reporting

Policy-driven operations with monitoring and reporting, customized schedules for SLAs, and retention controls—aligned to support audit-ready recovery readiness and compliance needs.


Trust-first

Encryption and access governance

Role-based access control restricts unauthorized access. Configurable encryption in-transit and at-rest strengthens integrity and supports cyber recovery requirements. 


Clean recovery

Granular restores with validation

Recover systems or single files with in-place or out-of-place options. Point-in-time recovery and a file anomaly dashboard support clean recovery decisions.


Efficiency

Deduplication and auto discovery 

Deduplication improves transmission and storage efficiency. Auto discovery expands protection to newly added datasets, helping reduce gaps across fast-changing environments. 


Mobility

Portable workloads and snapshots 

Workload portability across locations and clouds, plus hardware snapshot integration for near-instant volume recovery. Flexible storage options support disk, tape, NAS, and cloud. 


Validate Clean Recovery Points

Recovery is only successful if restored data is trustworthy. Reduce the risk of reinfection by verifying backup integrity and validating clean recovery points before restoring production systems.


Execute Disaster Recovery

When disruption occurs, recovery workflows begin. Use automated failover, recovery orchestration, and cloud recovery to restore critical applications and infrastructure with less downtime.


Test, Learn, and Improve

The backup and disaster recovery process never truly ends. Regularly test recovery plans, measure recovery performance, and refine workflows to strengthen resilience against future disruptions.

Get started

Choose a low-lift path to clean recovery and recovery readiness


Baseline RPO/RTO posture

Inventory priority workloads, map impact tolerances, and set workload-specific RPO/RTO targets—so recovery planning starts with minimum viability, not guesswork.


Harden and validate recovery

Protect recovery points with immutable, air-gapped patterns, then use cleanroom testing and validated recovery to confirm what’s safe to restore during cyber recovery.


Operationalize runbooks and evidence

Build orchestrated recovery runbooks on a unified control plane, and track audit-ready evidence over time—RPO/RTO attainment plus MTTCR/MTCR—to strengthen resilience posture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Commvault Cloud Protect?

Backup & Disaster Recovery in Commvault Cloud is designed to back up everything, everywhere across hybrid and multi-cloud estates—including VMs, containers/Kubernetes, databases, applications, endpoints, and unstructured data.

How does clean recovery work?

Commvault connects backup to cyber recovery outcomes by supporting validated recovery points, cleanroom testing, and threat-informed recovery workflows—so teams may recover confidently with clean data and reduce reinfection risk.

How can you prove readiness?

Commvault Cloud validates recovery readiness through audit-ready reporting that captures what was tested, when it was tested, what succeeded or failed, and what changed over time. By tracking RPO/RTO achievement alongside MTCR and MTTCR trends, organizations can provide executives, regulators, and auditors with measurable, evidence-based proof of recovery performance and operational resilience.

Can Commvault Cloud reduce tool sprawl?

Yes. A unified control plane helps apply governed policies across on-prem, cloud, and SaaS environments, reducing policy fragmentation, blind spots, and recovery surprises that slow response under pressure.

What’s Commvault’s recovery approach?

Recovery is treated as a coordinated sequence across apps, infrastructure, and data layers. Orchestrated recovery uses runbooks to reduce manual steps, coordinate dependencies, and align execution to impact tolerances.

How does data security apply?

Commvault emphasizes security-first foundations including encryption in transit/at rest, role-based access (RBAC), separation and offsite copies, plus immutable and air-gapped patterns aligned to cyber recovery requirements.
