What Commvault Cloud Kubernetes Backup is
Commvault Cloud Kubernetes Backup protects Kubernetes applications, clusters, configurations, and persistent data across on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud environments. It covers CNCF-certified distributions such as AKS, EKS, and Red Hat OpenShift. Application-consistent snapshots support application-level backup and restore, including cross-cluster and point-in-time recovery. Scheduled backups, custom retention, granular restore, and immutable backups are listed. Organizations can use existing on-premises or cloud storage or Commvault AirGap for isolated recovery copies. Security controls include anomaly detection, encryption in flight and at rest, air-gapped copies, and granular RBAC, SSO, and SAML. Preconfigured best-practice plans are intended to automate protection. Container Storage Interface integration for volume snapshot backup is optional. The Per TB plan costs $90 a month, billed at $90 per TB / month; volume discounts may apply above 50 TB. A free 30-day trial requires no credit card and can protect one or multiple applications and environments.
