Clumio features and enhancements that we want to highlight are listed here.
April 11, 2025
New features
Partial Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB
Expanding on the capabilities of Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB, Partial Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB enhances table-level granular record restores for DynamoDB. With this new feature, to restore a subset of your data in place to an existing table, you can specify partition_key and sort_key filters.
In the Clumio UI, this enhancement is implemented with Granular recovery (the existing capability) and In-place (the new capability) options in the Record restore dialog box. When you select In-place, you can specify partition_key and sort_key filters, and then revert a specific subset of backup data.
Enhancements
Enhanced time filter for S3 protection groups
You can now apply an additional time filter on S3 protection groups to exclude objects that were modified before a specified timestamp. This feature is useful for backing up multiple buckets while avoiding stale objects that were modified years ago.
In the Clumio UI, this enhancement is implemented with a new Include only objects created after a specific date setting in the Create protection group wizard for S3.
In the Clumio REST API, a new earliest_last_modified_timestamp field is added to the object_filter model in the following protection group APIs:
-
POST /protection-groups -
PUT /protection-groups/:group_id -
GET /datasources/protection-groups -
GET /datasources/protection-groups/:group_id
For more information, see Commvault REST API Documentation.
Enhanced automated protection for S3 protection groups
Previously, S3 protection groups supported adding buckets that matched only one tag, with or without one account and region. With this release, aligning with Clumio protection rule behavior, S3 protection groups can automatically add buckets that match multiple accounts and regions, as well as tags that adhere to various include/exclude conditions such as 'in', 'all', and 'contains'.
In the Clumio UI, this enhancement is implemented with a new Automated protection screen in the Create protection group wizard for S3.
In the Clumio REST API, the schema of the existing bucket_rule field is updated in the following protection rule APIs:
-
POST /protection-groups -
PUT /protection-groups/:group_id -
GET /datasources/protection-groups -
GET /datasources/protection-groups/:group_id
In bucket_rule, the account_native_id field is deprecated. Use aws_account_native_id instead of the deprecated field.
For more information, see Commvault REST API Documentation.
S3 bucket API updates
The S3 bucket listing API is updated to support the same filter semantics as the enhanced automated protection for S3 protection groups.
A new bucket_matcher field is added to the query parameter filter in the S3 bucket listing API:
GET /datasources/aws/s3-buckets
In this filter, some older fields—such as account_native_id, aws_region, aws_tag, and excluded_aws_tag—are deprecated. Use bucket_matcher instead of the deprecated fields.
For more information, see Commvault REST API Documentation.

New features
Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB
You can now revert tables, in-place, near instantly, to any point in time.
By leveraging Clumio DynamoDB SecureVault, Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB provides granular, table-level rollback functionality, allowing users to recover quickly from accidental changes, operational errors, or cyberattacks.
Existing solutions require creating a new table and manually reintegrating it with applications, while Clumio Backtrack for DynamoDB restores data directly into the existing table, making recovery seamless and automated.
The current release is available to all customers using Amazon DynamoDB Streams for incremental backups.
Enhancements
Time range filter for tasks
Previously, the Submitted time filter on the Task List page was not mandatory. With this release, it is mandatory, and the possible values are: Last 24 hours, 7 days (default value), 30 days, and 60 days.

New features
Clumio SecureVault Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) for DynamoDB
Clumio SecureVault for DynamoDB now includes Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR), enabling users to set granular recovery points rather than depending on fixed intervals. Also, PITR includes a new 15-minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) in DynamoDB policies, for near-continuous data protection. This feature is available to all customers that use Amazon DynamoDB Streams for incremental backups.
Enhancements
New APIs for previewing and triggering S3 Backtrack for S3 buckets
With the following new APIs, you can preview and trigger S3 Backtrack for S3 buckets:
-
POST /restores/aws/s3-buckets -
POST /restores/aws/s3-buckets/{bucket_id}/previews -
GET /restores/aws/s3-buckets/{bucket_id}/previews/{preview_id}
Also, a new last_backtrack_sync_timestamp field is available for the following S3 bucket APIs:
-
GET /datasources/aws/s3-buckets -
GET /datasources/aws/s3-buckets/{bucket_id}
For more information, see Commvault REST API Documentation.
Checksum for restored S3 objects
Aligning with AWS SDK behavior, S3 objects restored by Clumio now have a checksum that's calculated using the CRC64NVME algorithm by default. For more information, see Checking object integrity in Amazon S3 in the AWS documentation.
