Your AWS environment has probably grown faster than your recovery plan.
Your AWS environment has probably grown faster than your recovery plan. New S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, RDS databases and data lakes—each one critical, and each one exposed when ransomware, a misconfiguration or a simple deletion hits.
Most teams have backups. Far fewer have tested how long it would actually take to get everything back, cleanly, at the scale they run today.
What recovery really looks like for AWS workloads
No slideware marathon. Just clear answers to the questions AWS teams are asking right now.
In this practical, 60-minute session, experts from Clumio by Commvault walk through what recovery really looks like for AWS workloads—and where common approaches fall short. We’ll unpack real-world failure scenarios, show how leading teams set and meet recovery targets, and share a simple framework you can use to assess your own environment.
Millions of objects across buckets exposed to ransomware encryption, accidental prefix deletion, or compromised IAM credentials.
Versioning and cross-region replication replicate deletions/corruptions or require slow, all-or-nothing bucket rehydration.
Air-gapped immutable recovery points outside production accounts; granular object/prefix restore and instant read-only access at petabyte scale.
Questions this session will help you answer
Direct, architectural answers for teams responsible for keeping AWS workloads resilient and recoverable.
Do snapshots, versioning and replication give you recovery—or just more copies?
How long would it take to restore millions of S3 objects, or one table to a precise point in time?
How do you set RTO and RPO targets the business will actually sign off on?
How can you stay audit-ready without hours of manual evidence gathering?
Are you paying for snapshots and replicas you don’t need?
Why attend
Built for engineering, architecture, and security leaders who want actionable recovery strategies—not fluff.
Pressure-test your current approach against the scenarios most likely to hurt you.
Learn from practitioners, not a sales pitch—real architectures and lessons from teams running AWS at scale.
Leave with a plan, not just ideas—a checklist you can use with your team the following week.
Get your questions answered live by cloud data protection specialists.
