Business Continuity Planning for the Cloud-Native Era
Commvault, Monday, September 21st, 2026
Commvault describes how business continuity planning has shifted from protecting physical servers to safeguarding cloud-native data and workloads.
Commvault's post argues that business continuity planning has evolved from protecting physical data center infrastructure to safeguarding cloud data, applications, and workloads across distributed environments.
It states that a modern cloud business continuity plan requires defined RTO/RPO targets, air-gapped backups, and automated recovery workflows, since ransomware and cloud outages make planning more urgent and complex.
The post argues cloud-native backup offers cost, scalability, and security advantages over legacy on-premises approaches, and recommends regular testing and multi-cloud strategies as best practices.
