Supported platforms
The problem
Every enterprise that decides to switch backup vendors hits the same wall: historical data locked in proprietary formats. The only exit is the original vendor's consultancy — slow, expensive, and dependent on the very vendor being replaced.
Projects drag on while business operations wait — blocked by vendor schedules and proprietary tooling.
Vendor consultancy is the only option — and they know it. Pricing reflects your complete lack of alternatives.
Until HCV, no autonomous software existed to read proprietary backup formats outside the vendor's own tools.
The solution
No restore. No intermediate staging. Data flows directly from source to destination — metadata, retention and integrity preserved end-to-end.
Source
Any backup platform
HCV Engine
Autonomous pipeline
Destination
Any modern target
Weeks instead of 12–18 months. No waiting on vendor availability or proprietary tooling.
SaaS model. Pay for what you migrate. Tiered pricing by volume. No upfront license fees.
No dependency on source or destination vendors. You own the process, timeline and data.
HCV's AI Engine doesn't just move data — it thinks through the migration. It scans your source environment, detects policy structures, suggests optimal mappings, scores confidence on each decision, and flags risks before a single byte moves.
Autonomously enumerates nodes, filespaces, policies and schedules. Zero manual input.
AI suggests the best destination equivalent for every source policy — rated 0–100% confidence.
Flags incompatibilities, version gaps and unresolvable mappings before migration starts — never after.
SHA-256 per object, immutable log. Every AI decision recorded for LGPD, GDPR and SOX auditors.

Why now
Enterprise backup modernization is no longer optional. The window has never been wider.
Enterprises running fully on-prem can now migrate between backup platforms without touching the cloud — preserving data sovereignty and security posture.
Enterprises demand portability and freedom from proprietary formats they can't escape.
LGPD, GDPR, SOX and BCB 4.893 require strict data retention, portability and auditability.
Each merger leaves 2–4 redundant backup platforms that must be consolidated to cut costs.
Companies abandoning expensive legacy licensing (TSM, NetBackup and others) for modern alternatives.
Backup volumes doubling every 3–4 years — breaking legacy stacks and forcing migrations.
Why HCV
Compare HCV against the options enterprises are forced to use today.
| Approach | Cost | Time | Vendor independence | HCV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source vendor consultancy | $1M–$5M | 12–18 months | None | |
| Destination vendor consultancy | ~$500K | 9–12 months | Limited | |
| DIY internal scripts | Staff cost | 6–24 mo, often abandoned | Full | |
| HCV (autonomous software) | $ per TB | Weeks | Full | ★ |
The HCV advantage
Three structural advantages no consulting engagement can match.
Weeks instead of 12–18 months. No waiting on vendor schedules.
Pay for what you actually migrate. No upfront license or commitment.
No dependency on any vendor. You own the process and outcome.
Who We Are
Every enterprise IT team knows the feeling. You've outgrown your backup platform. Costs are climbing, support is aging, and a better option exists. But when you ask how long it would take to migrate — the answer is always the same: months. Sometimes over a year. A team of engineers. A budget that doubles halfway through. And the quiet, constant risk that something gets lost along the way.
So most organizations don't migrate. They stay. Not because the platform is good — but because leaving feels impossible.
We built HCV because that shouldn't be true.
HCV DATA MIGRATION is the first AI-powered platform that fully automates backup data migration between enterprise platforms — starting with IBM Storage Protect and Commvault, and expanding across Veeam, Veritas NetBackup, and Dell EMC.
Our AI agent handles everything: source discovery, policy mapping, data transfer, integrity validation, and target activation. What used to take six to twelve months of professional services now takes days. Every retention policy is preserved. Every byte is validated. And the whole process is documented in a signed audit report.
Backup vendor lock-in is one of the most invisible — and most expensive — problems in enterprise IT. Organizations pay for platforms they no longer want, delay modernization projects they need, and accept operational risk they shouldn't have to.
HCV is not a backup company. We don't compete with IBM, Commvault, or Veeam. We make it possible for enterprises to move between them — on their terms, on their timeline, without disruption.
Our mission is simple: your data should move as freely as your strategy requires.
Talk to our team. We'll map your environment and show you exactly how HCV works for your stack — no generic demos, no pressure.
