Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, announced Clumio Backtrack, a new capability that will enable enterprises to use automation to rapidly revert objects – or pieces of data – stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to a specific version at a specific point and time. This makes it quick and easy for cloud operations, IT, and security teams to recover data from errors, accidents, or cyberattacks, almost as if they were able to turn back the clock to the last known good state. But, the capability goes well beyond that in terms of scale.
Leveraging Amazon S3 Versioning, Backtrack will uniquely empower organizations to recover datasets of practically any size, from individual objects to whole Amazon S3 buckets where billions of objects may be stored.

At-Scale, Automated Object Recovery in Amazon S3
The magnitude of this innovation becomes clear when a large-scale recovery is considered. Today, teams can use powerful Amazon S3 Versioning capabilities to recover specific objects with ease. So, if a piece of data in Amazon S3 is lost, deleted, or altered, users can easily go back in time and revert to a good copy of that data. Commvault‘s technology is taking that premise to a new level of scale.
Via a serverless architecture that allows it to scale dynamically, Backtrack can revert billions of objects to earlier versions, radically changing how quickly and easily large-scale datasets can be rolled back – even seconds after an issue comes to light.
There are so many instances where the ability to rapidly revert billions of objects to a point in time would be very useful: maybe before someone mistakenly deleted the data; or before an application started sending incorrect or corrupt data; or before a cybercriminal encrypted the objects and demanded a ransom.
