Data Center Backup And Recovery Software Market Global Report 2026

The data center backup and recovery software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.79 billion in 2025 to $6.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing frequency of data loss incidents, rising need for business continuity, growing adoption of virtualized infrastructure, increasing regulatory compliance requirements, and expanding enterprise data volumes.

The data center backup and recovery software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to rising ransomware and cyberattack threats, increasing adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, growing demand for automated recovery, expanding need for rapid recovery time objectives, and increasing demand for immutable and air-gapped backups. Major trends during the forecast period include rising adoption of immutable backup storage, increasing integration of backup and disaster recovery automation, growing adoption of air-gapped backup solutions, increasing demand for ransomware-resilient data recovery, and rising adoption of continuous data protection.

The rising cybersecurity threats are expected to propel the growth of the data center backup and recovery software market going forward. Cybersecurity threats refer to malicious activities, attacks, or vulnerabilities that compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital systems, networks, and data. Cybersecurity threats are increasing due to the growing use of the internet, which provides cybercriminals with more opportunities to target individuals and organizations. Data center backup and recovery software helps organizations address cybersecurity threats by creating secure backups, restoring lost data following cyberattacks, and reducing the impact of ransomware, malware, and data breaches. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a US-based government agency, the number of cybercrime complaints increased to 859,532 in 2024, with reported losses exceeding $16.6 billion, representing a 33% increase in losses from 2023. Therefore, the rising cybersecurity threats are driving the growth of the data center backup and recovery software market.

Major companies operating in the data center backup and recovery software market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as hybrid backup and disaster recovery (DR) platforms, to strengthen data protection, enhance business continuity, and accelerate recovery from cyber threats and system disruptions. Hybrid backup and disaster recovery platforms integrate on-premises backup infrastructure with cloud-based replication and recovery capabilities, providing centralized data protection, near-real-time replication, and rapid restoration across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. For instance, in November 2024, ISSQUARED Inc., a US-based information technology solutions company, launched the Fabulix Backup and DR solution, a hybrid appliance-based platform developed to simplify enterprise data protection and disaster recovery. The solution delivers comprehensive backup, near-real-time replication, seamless cloud integration, ransomware protection, automated disaster recovery, centralized monitoring, and built-in deduplication to lower storage costs while enabling rapid and reliable recovery. The platform supports flexible deployment across private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, helping organizations strengthen operational resilience and reduce downtime.

In December 2024, Cohesity Inc., a US-based data security and data management technology company, acquired the Enterprise Data Protection Business of Veritas Technologies LLC for $3 billion (combination value). Through this acquisition, Cohesity Inc. aims to create the world's largest data protection software provider by combining its AI-powered data security platform with Veritas' enterprise data protection portfolio, accelerating innovation in cyber resilience, expanding its global customer base and partner ecosystem, broadening workload support, and strengthening its cloud, security, and generative AI capabilities for enterprise customers. Veritas Technologies LLC is a US-based enterprise software company specializing in data center backup and recovery software.
