Commvault supports data protection for Snowflake databases, schemas, and tables. It supports long-term retention, helps meet regulatory compliance requirements, and ensures disaster recovery readiness, while complementing native Snowflake features such as Time Travel and Fail-safe.

How it works
-
Commvault orchestrates backups directly from Snowflake to Commvault Air Gap Protect in Amazon or Azure.
-
Due to the changing nature of the Snowflake data, and as the data is copied directly deduplication enabled plans are not supported.
-
Each Snowflake account maps to an AI application in Commvault.
Backups
-
Tables without a primary key:
-
If a previous FULL backup exists, the table is skipped during incremental backups.
-
If a table is newly discovered during an incremental backup, a FULL backup is performed for that table.
-
-
Tables with a primary key:
-
If a previous FULL backup exists, incremental changes are captured using the existing Snowflake stream created during the prior FULL backup.
-
If a table is newly discovered during an incremental backup, a FULL backup is performed for that table.
-

Restores
