Back Up & Recover Amazon S3 Data at Scale

Recover Amazon S3 objects, prefixes, orentirebuckets to a clean point in time — even after ransomware, accidental deletion, or lifecycle policy errors—at petabyte scale. 

Billions of objects. One mistake can cascade instantly.


Recover billions of objects at scale

Backtrack enables reverting massive S3 datasets to a specific point in time


Small mistakes can affect entire datasets

A single lifecycle policy error or deletion can propagate across your entire data lake


Restore precisely—not everything

Granular object-level recovery helps avoid full dataset restores

What is Amazon S3?

Amazon S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) is AWS’s highly scalable object storage service for storing and retrieving virtually unlimited amounts of unstructured data.

Instead of organizing data into files on disks or blocks on storage volumes, S3 stores data as objects in buckets.

Why Amazon S3 data requires dedicated protection

Amazon S3 is often the system of record for analytics, AI, applications, and data lakes.

Key Factors

  • S3 data volumes can grow rapidly and change continuously

  • Ransomware, misconfiguration, and accidental deletion can affect large datasets at once

  • Native S3 durability does not address logical corruption or malicious activity

Resulting Operational Impact

  • Significant recovery effort during incidents

  • Delays restoring large or complex datasets

  • Increased operational and financial risk
