Cloud-native Workload

Amazon DynamoDB

Move beyond native protection with immutable backups, partition-level recovery, and restore-ready resilience designed for cloud-scale DynamoDB environments. 

When data changes instantly, so do mistakes.

Restore in minutes—not days

Near-instant, in-place rollback to a prior point in time 

One bad write replicates everywhere

Errors propagate across partitions and services instantly  

Recover only what’s broken

Partition-level recovery instead of full table restores

What Is Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is AWS’s fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service designed for high performance and virtually unlimited scalability. It stores key-value and document data, delivering single-digit millisecond latency for applications. 

DynamoDB automatically handles infrastructure, scaling, availability, and replication, allowing developers to focus on building applications rather than managing databases.

Why Amazon DynamoDB requires dedicated protection

Amazon DynamoDB powers mission-critical applications with highly available, continuously changing data.

Key Factors

DynamoDB data changes continuously across high-volume, business-critical workloads.
Application errors, accidental deletions, and ransomware can impact large datasets in seconds.
Native recovery capabilities have limitations for granular recovery, long-term retention, and cross-account protection.

Resulting Operational Impact

Slower recovery
from application failures and data corruption.
Increased operational effort
to restore specific records or partitions.
Greater business risk
from prolonged downtime and data loss.

How CloudRecover supports Amazon DynamoDB Backup and Recovery

Immutable Backups

Immutable, Air-Gapped Security Controls

Combines immutable, air-gapped backup storage with multi-factor authentication, SSO integration, and role-based permissions to strengthen security and access control.

Cross-Account Recovery

Cross-Region Recovery and Audit Readiness

Provides cross-account and cross-region DynamoDB recovery and enables simple SQL-based record retrieval to support audits, testing, and investigations.

Rollback Recovery

Granular, In-Place Table Rollback

Accelerates recovery for critical workloads with Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB by enabling partition-level rollback to a previous point in time.

Organization Management

Business Outcomes

Helps organizations recover faster from ransomware and accidental data loss, reduce application and analytics downtime, gain better visibility into protected DynamoDB data, and lower the operational overhead of managing backups at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does CloudRecover protect Amazon DynamoDB data?

CloudRecover protects Amazon DynamoDB with immutable, air-gapped backups and cloud-native recovery workflows. This helps organizations recover from incidents such as accidental deletion, data corruption, ransomware, and operational failures without managing backup infrastructure. 

How is CloudRecover backup different from traditional database backup?

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully distributed, high-throughput NoSQL service, which requires protection that can scale with partitions and transaction volume. Clumio is designed for AWS-native, NoSQL workloads and supports consistent recovery without the limitations of legacy, infrastructure-based database backups.

How does CloudRecover restore Amazon DynamoDB tables after an incident?

CloudRecover supports multiple recovery options for DynamoDB, including cross-account and cross-region restores, as well as point-in-time recovery. With Clumio Backtrack, customers can perform fast, in-place rollbacks of DynamoDB tables with partition-level precision. 

What is CloudRecover Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB?

Clumio Backtrack is designed to support in-place rollback of Amazon DynamoDB tables to a previous point in time, helping teams recover from application errors or unintended changes. It can provide granular recovery without requiring full table restores or pre-provisioned infrastructure.

Can CloudRecover help reduce downtime for DynamoDB-based applications?

CloudRecover cloud-native architecture supports fast recovery workflows without requiring customers to size or manage recovery infrastructure. This helps minimize application disruption following data-related incidents.
