# Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. Customers can start with just a few hundred gigabytes of data and scale to a petabyte or more. Redshift, like any other service, is not immune to operational usage issues and accidental deletions. Therefore, customers need to have a backup solution for business continuity and compliance needs.

You can use Commvault software to protect Amazon Redshift provisioned clusters across multiple accounts and regions. Commvault integrates with AWS native snapshots and export-based backups to protect Amazon Redshift.

Note

- Commvault takes native AWS snapshots of Amazon Redshift. You cannot create a backup copy.

- Commvault supports backing up Amazon Redshift clusters with vector data.
