Commvault is developing two recovery capabilities aimed at restoring more than backed-up data: Recovery Studio, which coordinates application-set recovery through automated workflows, and an expanded AgentRecover service for agents built with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry.
The company says Recovery Studio is intended to bring applications and their dependencies back in a defined sequence after operational, disaster or cyber incidents. AgentRecover is designed to help organizations identify agent activity, assess what it affected and recover the agent and related resources. Both offerings address recovery across interconnected cloud and enterprise environments, where restoring individual datasets may not be enough to resume business operations.
Recovery Studio targets full application sets
Recovery Studio is planned as a runbook-driven orchestration layer for recovering applications alongside identities, configurations, infrastructure dependencies and datasets. Commvault says the workflow will replace manual coordination with a context-aware process that can reconstruct and validate components in the order required for recovery.
The components named by the company include containers, virtual machines, files and objects, as well as identity systems, application and infrastructure configurations, and security and network settings. The scope reflects a broader recovery problem: an application may rely on identity services, network controls and configuration state that also need to be restored before the workload can operate correctly.
Commvault says customers will be able to use unified runbooks for operational recovery, disaster recovery and cyber recovery. The workflows are also intended to coordinate infrastructure rebuilds, workload recovery and security controls, including firewall rules and network security groups. Automated threat scanning for supported resources is planned as part of recovery checks, helping identify potentially compromised areas before services return to production.
Pranay Ahlawat, Commvault’s chief technology and AI officer, described the approach as a “DevOps moment for recovery,” saying the product is intended to replace spreadsheets and war rooms with an orchestrated process that can restore business components in the right order. The company says Recovery Studio will support recovery both in place and into a cleanroom environment.
AgentRecover expands to two agent platforms
The AgentRecover expansion covers AI agents built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry. Commvault says the capability will discover supported agents and map their dependencies, including the data, applications, identities, configurations and infrastructure with which they interact. That inventory is intended to help teams identify protection gaps and understand the scope of an agent’s operating environment.
AgentRecover is also designed to audit agent activity and help determine which systems or information may have been affected. The recovery process can then focus on restoring the supported agent and the resources it changed, rather than treating the agent as an isolated component. Commvault points to the potential for an agent decision to trigger changes across multiple platforms as a reason to track both agent actions and their downstream impact.
The announcement concerns support for agents on the named platforms; it does not establish that every agent or dependent resource will be covered. Commvault describes the capabilities as intended to provide discovery, activity auditing and recovery across the AI stack, with the precise scope tied to supported platforms and resources.
Availability remains planned
Commvault targeted Recovery Studio for early access in December, with general availability planned for the following months. The company said pricing would be based on the amount of data configured for orchestrated recovery. AgentRecover capabilities for Microsoft Foundry were targeted for early access in November, while support for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore was targeted for December. These are planned milestones, not confirmation that the capabilities are generally available.
The announcements place recovery orchestration alongside agent protection as enterprises adopt AI systems whose actions can affect applications, data and infrastructure. For IT and DevOps teams, the practical test will be whether automated runbooks can consistently rebuild dependencies, apply security checks and restore agent-driven changes across the environments they operate.
