Commvault, a prominent provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, has rolled out Clumio Backtrack for Amazon DynamoDB. This advanced offering reshapes how organisations recover data from one of the world's leading cloud-native NoSQL databases.

Amazon DynamoDB has become essential for cloud-first development teams, powering high-scale, latency-sensitive applications like real-time personalisation engines and AI-driven services. While DynamoDB excels in speed and scalability, traditional data recovery methods pose challenges, especially during operational disruptions.

DynamoDB deployments contain complicated tables that are continuously updated by applications and microservices. When these are disrupted, recovering data generally means restoring full tables instead of only the disrupted elements, causing extended downtimes and high operational overheads. However, Clumio Backtrack changes the landscape by allowing teams to swiftly revert existing tables to any prior point in time without reconfiguration. This industry-first feature enables recovery of individual partitions, significantly reducing recovery time and costs.

The solution adopts an "incremental forever" backup model, facilitating faster and more precise recoveries while lowering the Total Cost of Ownership compared to native options. The flexibility offered by Clumio Backtrack is crucial for organizations managing complex tables with billions of records.

Archana Venkatraman, Senior Research Director, Cloud Data Management at IDC stated, “Amazon DynamoDB remains a critical cloud-native NoSQL database in production... Amid rising data resilience and availability imperatives, precise, point-in-time recovery for DynamoDB ... reduces downtime, risks and operational costs, key needs for agile development and AI-driven applications.” 

Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB follows the launch of Clumio Backtrack for Amazon S3. Together, these innovations provide AWS customers with flexibility and speed.
