Frequently Asked Questions
Is Air Gap Protect strictly a cloud storage target?
Air Gap Protect is a fully managed cloud storage target offering ultimate security and scale to let organizations seamlessly adopt cloud storage. Air Gap Protect makes it simple to adopt cloud storage—without a steep learning curve and for air-gapped ransomware protection and optimized costs.
Does Air Gap Protect have storage tiers for short- and long-term retention?
Hot and cool storage triers provide greater flexibility for customers looking for cloud storage options. Customers looking for a primary backup copy repository should use our hot tier, while customers seeking a secondary storage option for longer retention can leverage our cool tier.
How does data within Air Gap Protect remain uninfected?
When integrated with security measures like immutability, and multifactor and multi-person authentication, air gapping provides an additional robust security layer. This combination enables the recovery of clean, uncompromised backup data following a cyberattack. Should the corporate network be compromised, air-gapped backup copies will stay isolated, unaffected, and ready for restoration.
What happens if I use up my licensed Air Gap Protect capacity?
Extra Air Gap Protect capacity can be bought and added during a subscription. It’s advisable to expand capacity before it hits 100%. At 80% usage, users receive an email and a UI warning. At full capacity, data writing jobs stop, but data management tasks like aging, pruning, and restores still operate.
Does Air Gap Protect storage support a time-based retention-lock?
No, due to its architecture, a time-based retention lock isn’t supported with Air Gap Protect storage. This storage type abstracts the subscription details, giving customers access only to their specific Commvault Storage account and containers. The Commvault subscription manages these accounts and, along with Commvault Retention Lock policies, provides a similar level of data immutability. This setup prevents unnecessary data deletion and avoids the storage inflation typically associated with time-based retention locks.
Does the Air gap protect offering provide Archive Tier from Azure?
Customers can choose Azure Archive under their own Azure subscription to create copies for long-term retention (such as >1 year) from Air Gap Protect HOT Tier or On-Prem. This is achieved by adding another storage library to the Customer’s Azure Archive Storage. This is available to Air Gap Protect. Please note that the Cloud Media Agent, when spun up in the customer’s subscription, needs to be in the same region as the Air Gap Protect HOT storage.
