AWS Backup vs. Spanning Backup

Because it is a native AWS service, it integrates well with all AWS services. However, it lacks the ability to manage long-term archive backups.

Spanning Backup for G Suite is great for businesses or schools who want peace of mind that important data in Google Drive are backed up and easy to restore. It should not be used to backup your servers/etc as the backup and restore process is not THAT quick. Not slow, but not the quickest.

• Centralized management - single pane of glass to manage backups for multiple AWS services.
• Encryption - integrates with KMS to encrypt backup data at rest and in transit.
• Cross Account management - manage backups across multiple AWS accounts with AWS organizations.

• Set it and forget it. Easy set up and it runs daily behind the scenes.
• Restore holds record relationships.
• Restore can merge records easily.

• Unable to organize folders. Maybe this is just something basic, but I was unable to move files around. I was doing everything manually, on the AWS site to no avail.

• Administrative users can backup multiple accounts at one time, but can only restore one account at a time.
• Management console navigation opens additional tabs, but I believe they are working to improve that.
• It would be nice to be able to delete emails and files from user accounts from within Spanning instead of having to login to Google as the user.
• Google Forms meta-data is not able to be restored to other accounts.

Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up.

I would like a retention option on the data, but since this feature does not currently exist, I give it a 9. Everything has met our standards and needs and we are now freed up from the manual efforts it was taking for backing up Salesforce using the out-of-the-box features of Salesforce.

Linode requires a minimum data purchase for their S3 storage solution. While the convenience of being able to mount the drive directly is great, it isn't the best for small amounts of data for our different customers. I initially tried there other backup solution but they couldn't guarantee where the data would be stored in relation to the server we were using. The risk being an incident in our near our server could result in the loss of our backup as well.
