Commvault Unveils Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Database Recovery

Commvault has released Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB, a new offering that enables near-instant rollback and granular recovery for DynamoDB workloads. This solution allows teams to revert existing DynamoDB tables to a prior point in time with no reconfiguration necessary, and recover individual partitions versus entire tables, cutting both recovery times and costs. This transformative approach helps deliver faster, more precise recovery and lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to native options.

Commvault has announced the general availability of Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB, a groundbreaking solution designed to enhance data recovery for cloud-native NoSQL databases. This new offering allows teams to revert existing DynamoDB tables to a prior point in time with no reconfiguration necessary, significantly reducing recovery times and costs.

Amazon DynamoDB has become a cornerstone for cloud-first development teams, particularly for high-scale, latency-sensitive applications such as real-time personalization engines, e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, and AI-driven services. However, traditional data recovery methods often require restoring entire tables, even when only specific partitions are affected, leading to inefficiencies and extended downtimes for large-scale deployments with terabytes of data [1].

Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB addresses this challenge by enabling near-instant rollbacks of individual partitions, rather than entire tables. This innovative approach, combined with an "incremental forever" backup model, can lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to native options that only offer full backups. The solution is now available globally via the AWS Marketplace with consumption-based pricing [1].

Commvault's Chief Technology Officer, Woon Jung, underscored the significance of this innovation: "Organizations are building their next-generation cloud and AI applications on DynamoDB. Clumio Backtrack removes the friction and risk from database recovery. Now, teams can roll back or restore their data in minutes, not days, and without needing to perform complex, multi-step manual recoveries" [1].

The release of Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB builds on Commvault's earlier offering, Clumio Backtrack for Amazon S3, which allows enterprises to rapidly revert objects stored in Amazon S3 to a specific version at a specific point in time. This new solution expands Commvault's portfolio of specialized recovery tools for AWS environments, positioning the company advantageously in the rapidly evolving cloud data protection market [2].

By addressing critical recovery scenarios for mission-critical databases supporting AI applications and high-performance systems, Commvault is providing a competitive edge in cloud data protection. This transformative technology is particularly valuable for organizations with large, dynamic DynamoDB workloads, offering a cost-efficient approach to data recovery [2].
