Commvault unveils Clumio Backtrack to speed DynamoDB recovery
Commvault has announced the general availability of Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB, an offering designed to improve recovery speed and resilience for cloud-native database workloads. Amazon DynamoDB is widely used in the development of large-scale, high-performance applications, including real-time personalisation engines, eCommerce platforms, mobile applications, and AI-driven services. The database is noted for its scalability and low-latency operations, which are critical to cloud-first development teams. However, the nature of DynamoDB's architecture has made recovering data - especially granular or point-in-time recoveries - challenging for organisations operating at scale. Current recovery processes often require teams to restore an entire table, followed by copying the impacted items back and then deleting the new table to control operational and storage costs. This process is resource-intensive and can result in significant downtime, especially for organisations with tables consisting of billions of records or data sets reaching into the terabytes. Near-instant rollback Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB has been developed to address these challenges. According to Commvault, the solution enables near-instant rollback to a prior point in time for existing DynamoDB tables, with no reconfiguration required. This functionality allows recovery at the partition level, rather than necessitating a full-table restore, helping to reduce both recovery times and associated costs. The solution is based on an "incremental forever" backup model, which is intended to enable faster, more precise recovery operations. Commvault states that this approach can lower total cost of ownership when compared to native recovery options, which typically only support full backups. "Organisations are building their next-generation cloud and AI applications on DynamoDB," said Woon Jung, Chief Technology Officer, Cloud Native at Commvault. "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. This is another example of Commvault leading the charge in resilience and recovery." The increasing importance of data resilience and availability is evident as organisations rely more heavily on cloud-native databases like DynamoDB. The addition of granular, point-in-time recovery is seen as a significant development in supporting agile software development and AI-driven workloads. "Amazon DynamoDB remains a critical cloud-native NoSQL database in production, thanks to major improvements across consistency, cost and performance. Amid rising data resilience and availability imperatives, precise, point-in-time recovery for DynamoDB is a significant advancement. This granular control reduces downtime, risks and operational costs, key needs for agile development and AI-driven applications," said Archana Venkatraman, Senior Research Director, Cloud Data Management at IDC. Recent product evolution Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB follows the earlier release of Clumio Backtrack for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). The S3 solution enables enterprises to automate the rollback of objects or specific data pieces to defined versions based on a specific point in time. Commvault notes that with the introduction of DynamoDB support, AWS customers can benefit from increased flexibility and speed in recovery operations, aimed at reducing service disruption and operational risk. Availability and pricing Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB is now available internationally through the AWS Marketplace, with pricing structured on a consumption basis. Follow us on: Share on:

Commvault Unveils Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB, Reshaping Cloud-Native Database Recovery and Resilience
Provides near instant rollback and granular recovery for DynamoDB workloads TINTON FALLS, N.J., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced the general availability of Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB, an advanced offering that transforms how organizations recover data from one of the most widely used cloud-native NoSQL databases in the world. Amazon DynamoDB has become a foundational technology for cloud-first development teams, especially those building high-scale, latency-sensitive applications such as real-time personalization engines, e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, and AI-driven services. Developers and cloud architects depend on DynamoDB for speed and scalability, but when it comes to data recovery – following a bug, accidental deletion, or related event – agility and precision can be challenging. DynamoDB deployments contain complex tables, usually with multiple partitions within each table, that are constantly updated by applications and microservices. When there is an operational disruption, teams would generally prefer to recover just the impacted partitions, but with traditional methods, that's often not possible. Teams have to restore all of the data to an entirely new table, copy only the impacted items back, and then delete the new table to minimize storage and operations costs. For organizations managing complex tables with billions of records and terabytes of data, this can be a slow, resource-intensive process, which can lead to extended downtimes and high operational overhead. Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB changes the game for DynamoDB recoveries. It allows teams to near instantly revert existing DynamoDB tables to a prior point in time with no reconfiguration necessary – an industry first. Organizations can also recover individual partitions versus entire tables, cutting both recovery times and recovery costs. This pioneering approach, combined with an "incremental forever" backup model, not only helps deliver faster, more precise recovery but also can lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to native options that only offer full backups. "Organizations are building their next-generation cloud and AI applications on DynamoDB," said Woon Jung, Chief Technology Officer, Cloud Native at Commvault. "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.
