Eon vs. AWS Backup

Both AWS Backup and Eon are agentless and AWS-native. But only Eon supports true multi-cloud backup, including Azure and Google Cloud.

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

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

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

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
