Snapshots capture point-in-time states of data, creating recovery points that give you a fast and consistent way to protect and restore virtual machines, file servers, databases, and applications.
Along with Commvault Cloud’s other backup and recovery features, snapshots help you build a comprehensive data protection and recovery strategy. And Commvault Cloud automates the entire snapshot-to-backup process—including creation, validation, mounting, and data movement—so you don’t need separate tools to manage each step.
