Backup Software: CommVault Galaxy

Author(s): Laura Hansen-Kohls

Being solely focused on backup and recovery has given CommVault significant advantages in the market, especially in their recovery granularity. For example, CommVault's support of Microsoft SharePoint is ahead of the curve. Galaxy is able to restore an individual file or file version from a specific point in time from SharePoint. Because databases have to be backed up as a single unit, many solutions don't offer the level of granularity to restore a single file without restoring the entire database. Given the popularity of SharePoint in the enterprise, this is a major differentiator for Galaxy.
