Cloud-native VM backup and recovery platform for hybrid cloud environments

Updated October 2026.

## What is Commvault VM Backup?

Commvault VM Backup is a cloud-delivered data protection platform designed to backup and recover virtual machines across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. The platform supports multiple hypervisors and cloud platforms including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Azure, Amazon EC2, VMware Cloud on AWS, Nutanix AHV, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) VMs.

The solution provides snapshot and application-level backups for virtual machines with flexible storage options that allow organizations to maintain on-premises copies for faster recovery or utilize cloud storage. Data protection includes encryption for data in-flight and at-rest, along with role-based access controls, SSO, and SAML authentication.

For ransomware protection, the platform incorporates anomaly detection capabilities and air-gapped backup copies. The system includes pre-configured backup plans and automated workflows to maintain data protection standards. Organizations can perform VM-level restores and migrations between different hypervisors.

The platform is offered as a SaaS solution with pricing based on 10-pack VM bundles at $102.49 per VM per month, with volume discounts available for deployments exceeding 50 VMs. The architecture supports zero-trust security principles and provides centralized management through a single console for managing backups across different workload types including databases, file systems, and virtual machines.
