Eon is more than snapshot scheduling—it's cloud-native backup reimagined.
- Built-in cost savings from deduped storage, no infra, and zero lock-in
- Protects everything automatically — not just snapshots
- Granular recovery across services and workloads
- Snapshots double as a data lake—ready for SQL, LLMs, and forensics
- Ransomware detection and immutable backup snapshots by default

Optimized for Cost Savings
1. Deployment & Architecture
Both AWS Backup and Eon are agentless and AWS-native. But only Eon supports true multi-cloud backup, including Azure and Google Cloud.
2. Backup Posture Management
AWS Backup requires manual tagging and policy creation, which often leaves workloads underprotected. Eon automatically:
- Discovers resources across regions and accounts
- Applies policy based on compliance needs
- Detects under-backed-up or misconfigured assets
- Validates snapshot consistency at backup time
3. Recovery & Access
AWS Backup limits recovery to 5 items per restore job and doesn’t support instant search or file-level retrieval. Eon enables:
- Full global snapshot search
- Instant file, table, or database record restore
- No full restore required
- Instant access across accounts, clouds, and regions
4. Ransomware Protection
AWS Backup does not include ransomware detection, monitoring, or clean snapshot handling. Eon includes:
- Entropy and anomaly detection
- Clean snapshot hold even after expiry
- EDR integration
- Smart rollback and clean restore tooling
5. Cost & Operational Efficiency
AWS Backup incurs hidden costs via:
- S3 versioning
- Snapshot duplication
- Over-retention due to manual tagging
Eon reduces TCO by:
- Using incremental S3 backups (no versioning)
- Deduping across accounts and regions
- Turns backups into a structured data lake with Parquet output
- Avoiding 128KB object rounding
- Including posture, detection, and search at no extra cost
AWS Backup orchestrates. Eon operationalizes.
If your cloud footprint is growing and your risk surface is expanding, Eon provides you with the intelligence, automation, and recovery speed that AWS Backup was never designed for.
