Commvault AgentRecover to Roll Back Rogue AI Agents

Commvault has extended its AgentRecover tool to cover AI agents built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry, giving IT and security teams a way to undo damage when an agent changes something it should not have. The company announced the new capabilities on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at its SHIFT 2026 customer event in Nashville.

AgentRecover is designed for a problem that traditional backup tools were not built to handle. As businesses put AI agents in charge of real work, a single agent decision can alter data, applications and infrastructure across several connected systems, and it can do so at machine speed. Commvault says the update extends full-stack recovery to the agent platform layer, so teams can trace what an agent did and restore both the agent and the systems it affected.

What AgentRecover does now

The expanded capabilities work in three steps. First, AgentRecover discovers agents built on the supported platforms and maps the data, applications, identities, configurations and infrastructure each one interacts with, helping teams see the full AI environment and spot protection gaps.

Second, if an agent goes wrong, the tool helps teams audit what it did and what it may have affected across platforms, so they can work out what needs attention first. Third, it protects supported agents and the systems behind them, then helps restore the agent and the affected data and systems, with recovery focused on what the agent actually changed.

Customers can also use AgentRecover alongside Commvault's identity recovery and change auditing, to help understand what agents did, which data they changed and which identities they acted through.

“Business logic is moving out of applications and into agents, and agents don't behave deterministically. A single agent decision can trigger changes across data, applications, and infrastructure on multiple platforms,” said Pranay Ahlawat, Commvault's chief technology and AI officer.

When it arrives

AgentRecover support for Microsoft Foundry is targeted for early access in November 2026, with support for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore following in December 2026. Commvault plans to show more of the technology at SHIFT Virtual 2026 on 18 November.

The company used the same event to unveil Recovery Studio, a service that automates rebuilding whole business applications after an outage or cyberattack, and to announce a partnership with Zscaler pairing AI-use discovery and policy enforcement with recovery for data, applications and identities.

The launch reflects how quickly agents have moved from experiments to production systems. Bedrock AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry provide the services businesses use to build, deploy and operate agents that run business-critical processes, and Commvault is betting that the ability to roll back a rogue agent will become as routine as restoring a file.
