What an unrecoverable breach costs in India
₹19.5 Cr
is the average cost of a data breach for an Indian organisation, per the IBM Cost of a Data Breach study. Most of that bill is the recovery that did not work: backups that were encrypted too, restores that stalled, and data that could not be brought back inside the window the business needed.

What is Commvault backup and Cyber Resilience?
Commvault backup is an enterprise data protection platform that protects your whole estate from one control plane. It covers physical servers, virtual machines, databases, Microsoft 365, and cloud workloads. Air-gapped immutable copies and built-in ransomware recovery come baked in. The backup job is the easy part. The recovery is the part that decides whether a bad Monday is a two-hour story or a two-week one. For a mixed Indian estate, that single recovery console is the difference between a calm restore and a frantic one. See the platform scope on the official Commvault site.
The buying decision usually splits three ways. Some teams want only Backup and Recovery for the core estate. Some add a Commvault Cloud air-gap tier for an immutable copy that no attacker can reach. Some hand the whole thing to Sirius Star as a managed recovery retainer. We run the policy design, the restore drills, and the retention calendar aligned to the DPDP Act framework published by the Ministry of Electronics and IT. The free 24-hour review tells you which mix fits your workloads.
₹250 Crore is the upper DPDP penalty ceiling per the MeitY framework. A backup you cannot restore, or a retention policy you cannot evidence, is the kind of gap a Data Protection Officer loses sleep over.
Three ways to buy Commvault in India
Same Commvault platform. Same recovery engine. Three commercial wrappers, picked from your real workload count and recovery target.
Commvault managed recovery retainer
Policy design, air-gap tier, immutable copy monitoring, anomaly alerts, and a quarterly restore drill for a 40 to 80 workload estate. The retainer means your IT head stops guessing whether last night ran clean. Single PO, one invoice, one console handover. Pair it with Secure Data Guard for the DPDP DLP layer over the recovered-data store, and with Nutanix clusters where the workloads already live.
From ₹48,000 / month
Commvault Backup and Recovery
Per-workload protection for servers, VMs, databases, and Microsoft 365 from one policy plane. The right start when you only need the core estate covered. Sits well beside Cisco UCS compute.
From ₹1,450 per workload / month
Commvault Cloud air-gap copy
Immutable, air-gapped storage that a ransomware operator cannot alter or delete, with anomaly detection on backup change rates. The clean copy you restore from when the primary is gone.
From ₹3,200 per TB / month

Is Commvault right for your data-protection team?
Commvault from Sirius Star is an enterprise data protection design, deployment, and managed recovery service for Indian businesses running 20 to 500-plus workloads, delivered from Vashi, Navi Mumbai with a 24-hour recovery review, immutable air-gap copies, and a quarterly restore drill.
You are the right buyer if:
- Your estate mixes physical servers, VMware or Nutanix, databases, and Microsoft 365
- One backup tool no longer covers everything and the gaps scare you
- BFSI, pharma, or manufacturing rules demand a tested, evidenced recovery point
- A ransomware tabletop exposed that your backups share the blast radius
- You need DPDP-aligned retention you can actually show an auditor
- Your last real restore test was, honestly, never
If you run a small all-virtual estate on a single hypervisor and want simple image-level recovery, Veeam is the lighter fit and we will say so. If you only need cloud backup for a handful of SaaS apps, a managed cloud backup plan is cheaper than a full Commvault retainer. The review gives you the honest call.
Commvault vs Veeam vs Veritas, honest call
Commvault wins the large mixed estate: databases, Microsoft 365, multi-cloud, and physical servers all under one policy plane with a single recovery console and a strong air-gap story. Veeam Backup wins the virtual-machine-heavy shop that wants fast, simple image recovery on VMware or Hyper-V. Veritas NetBackup wins where a long NetBackup catalogue, heavy NDMP, or large tape libraries already anchor the estate. For SMB-priced cyber protection that blends backup with endpoint security, Acronis Cyber Protect is the value option, and a pure cloud play sits with our cloud backup and disaster recovery service. I have watched a Mumbai factory lose most of a week to a restore that stalled at 60 percent, so the honest call lands in the recovery review, not in a feature grid. Layer Secure Data Guard for the DPDP DLP layer over the archive.
Commvault FAQ for Indian businesses
What is Commvault backup and when do Indian enterprises need it?
Commvault backup is an enterprise data protection platform that captures, retains, and recovers data across servers, virtual machines, databases, Microsoft 365, SaaS apps, and cloud workloads from one control plane. Indian enterprises need it when one tool can no longer cover a mixed estate, and when an auditor or a ransomware tabletop asks for a tested recovery point rather than a backup job that merely ran. Pair it with Nutanix where the workloads live.
What does Commvault backup cost in India in 2026?
Commvault Backup and Recovery in 2026 is licensed per protected workload from about ₹1,450 per workload per month on an annual term. Commvault Cloud air-gapped immutable storage starts around ₹3,200 per TB per month. A Sirius Star managed recovery retainer for 40 to 80 workloads lands around ₹48,000 per month, including the quarterly restore drill and the DPDP retention calendar. Final pricing depends on workload count, retention length, and air-gap tier.
Commvault vs Veeam vs Veritas, which fits an Indian enterprise?
Pick Commvault for a large mixed estate where databases, Microsoft 365, and multi-cloud all need one policy plane. Pick Veeam for a virtual-machine-heavy shop that wants fast image recovery. Pick Veritas NetBackup where a long catalogue or large tape already anchors the estate. We give you the call in the free review.
Does Commvault support air-gapped ransomware recovery and DPDP retention?
Yes. Commvault Cloud provides air-gapped, immutable copies that an attacker cannot alter or delete, plus anomaly detection on backup change rates. For DPDP, retention policies map to your data categories and the audit trail records who restored what and when, which is the evidence a Data Protection Officer needs under the MeitY framework. Add Secure Data Guard for the DLP layer.
How long does a Commvault rollout take in India?
Sirius Star starts with a free recovery review inside one business day, then designs the policy and air-gap tier in two to three business days. For a 40 to 80 workload estate, the full rollout with immutable copy, a tested first restore, and the DPDP retention calendar lands in seven to ten business days, including the console handover and the quarterly restore-drill calendar.

P.S. A Navi Mumbai logistics firm called us last quarter after a ransomware hit took their primary and, worse, the backup it had quietly encrypted for weeks. We restored from a clean air-gapped copy and had the core systems back the same day. They now run the quarterly restore drill without fail, because nobody wants that phone call twice. One clean copy changed the whole story.
