Firefly vs. Commvault Cloud Rewind

Recovering a Broken Cloud is Not Resilience

Firefly is a battle-tested Automated Cloud Resilience platform trusted by hundreds of organizations worldwide. Unlike Cloud Rewind's script-based recovery with partial cloud coverage, Firefly recovers your cloud using Infrastructure-as-Code — rebuilding a clean, governed, fully-mapped environment across every cloud, every time.

‍Recognized by Gartner as a leading CAIRS in the 2025 Hype Cycle for Backup & Data Protection.

Trusted by Platform Engineers, CISOs, and CIOs at enterprises where downtime isn't an option.

Script-Based Recovery With Manual Dependencies Mapping or a Clean, IaC-Built Environment. Your Call.

Restoring a misconfigured cloud is better than not restoring it at all. It's also a great way to start the clock on your next incident. Cloud Rewind recovers from snapshots, with no IaC, manual dependency mapping, and coverage gaps across multi-cloud, Kubernetes, and SaaS. You can make a better choice.→

What Firefly Gives You

Recovery Is the Last Line of Defense. Firefly Covers Every Line.

Instantly rebuild full environments after outages and cyberattacks with minimal downtime

Prove compliance against DORA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA, with evidence, not assumptions

Validate resilience posture continuously, across multi-cloud, Kubernetes, and SaaS

Expose hidden gaps in your recovery plans before an incident finds them for you

Scan your cloud and create a unified System of Record across all resources, dependencies, and relationships

Achieve 100% IaC coverage by turning your entire infrastructure into IaC, governing it, and keeping it drift-free

Orchestrate and provision infrastructure safely with built-in guardrails, using existing CI/CD pipelines or Firefly runners

Rewinding Is Not the Same as Rebuilding

Comparison
Cloud rewind
Cloud infra recovery
Redeploys deployment-ready Terraform or OpenTofu — governed, policy-enforced, IaC-native
⚠️ Restores a proprietary snapshot — misconfigurations, drift, and ungoverned resources included
Cloud Coverage
Covers thousands types of resources
⚠️ Covers a limited set of resources that will keep your restored env exposed to failures
Comprehensive dependency mapping
Continuous live dependency mapping across every resource, relationship, and service
❌ No automated dependency discovery
Drift Detection / Remediation
Real-time drift detection with AI remediation. Drift is automatically fixed before it compounds into your next incident
❌ No drift detection or remediation capabilties
Multi-cloud support
AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Nebius, Kubernetes, and any Terraform provider
⚠️ AWS, Azure, GCP only — no OCI, limited Kubernetes, limited SaaS
SaaS application recovery
Full SaaS recovery coverage across providers
⚠️ Limited to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace only
Kubernetes recovery
Full Kubernetes recovery — workloads, cluster roles, networking, and configuration
⚠️ Partial — managed clusters only, no workload-level recovery
Clean-region / clean-account recovery
Automated clean-region and clean-account failover — immutable snapshots, zero reinfection risk
⚠️ Limited clean-region isolation
IaC-native solution
Every snapshot stored as Terraform or OpenTofu — versioned, governed, redeployable anywhere
❌ No IaC — proprietary scripts generated at restore time only
CRPM
Live resilience posture score — what is protected, recoverable, and at risk, right now
❌ Not available
Future-proof support for new cloud services
Supports any service with a Terraform provider — no waiting for a legacy vendor
⚠️ Dependent on Commvault's legacy roadmap and release cycles

Why You Should Choose Firefly Instead of Cloud Rewind

01
Because recovering into a misconfigured environment isn't recovery. It's a rerun. Firefly rebuilds a clean, governed, IaC-built environment, not a replica of what failed.
02
Because restoring without IaC is like rebuilding a house from a photograph. Firefly stores every snapshot as deployment-ready Terraform or OpenTofu.
03
Because manual dependency mapping turns recovery into a guessing game. Firefly automatically maps every resource, relationship, and service — so when you recover, nothing is missing.
04
Because finding recovery gaps during a real incident is a terrible strategy. Firefly's CRPM shows you exactly what's protected and what isn't. Before incidents strike.
05
Because whatever broke your cloud is probably waiting on the other side of that restore button. Firefly rebuilds a clean environment. Not a rerun of the problem.
06
Because your cloud moves faster than a legacy vendor's backlog. Firefly is AI-native, purpose-built, and ships at the pace your cloud actually demands.
