The Commvault Cloud Access Node (or Backup Gateway) is a specialized data mover or proxy that facilitates efficient, secure, and scalable backup/restore operations, especially in virtualized or cloud environments. It offloads data processing from source systems and ensures optimized data flow to backup storage. As access nodes, backup gateways connect with, discover, back up, and restore your data source (which the Commvault Cloud control panel cannot access directly). Note this is an infrastructure component of the Commvault software and requires an existing Commvault Cloud control plane to be used.
New in V11.42 and higher, the OS images are now pre-hardened with Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 1 benchmark controls.
The Access Node software is free (covered under the BYOL Commvault software license) but you will pay the AWS infrastructure costs for running the virtual machine.
Highlights
- Integrates AWS Backup and Recovery within virtualized (cloud) or Commvault on-prem solutions which provides unified cyber resilience across cloud-native, AI, and traditional datacenter applications
- Agent-less backup of EC2 instances and EBS volumes; agent-based application backup and recovery from other platforms into AWS
- Efficient replication and source side deduplication built-in for cost optimization; writes directly to S3 or other storage libraries

Reliable and Easy-to-Manage Cloud Backup and Data Protection with Commvault Cloud
Reviewed on Nov 03, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Commvault Cloud is how easy it makes managing data protection, backups, and recovery. The platform offers a reliable, secure way to safeguard important business data, and it’s convenient to be able to monitor and manage everything from a single place. I also value its automation capabilities, which reduce manual effort and help save time. Overall, it’s a user-friendly, dependable solution that gives me confidence in data security, backup, and disaster recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area that could be improved in Commvault Cloud is the user interface, as some features and settings can take time to understand, especially for new users. Certain configurations and advanced options could be made more straightforward. Also, the platform may feel a little complex initially, so better documentation and simplified navigation would make the overall experience even smoother. Apart from these points, it is a good platform for data protection and backup management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Commvault Cloud helps solve the challenge of protecting and managing business data across different environments. It makes backup and recovery easier, reduces the risk of data loss, and provides better protection against unexpected system failures and cyber threats. What I find most beneficial is the ability to manage backups from a centralized platform, monitor data protection, and recover important information when needed. This saves time, reduces manual work, and gives me more confidence that business data is secure and available when required.
