euBackups: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

euBackups is a European backup and cyber-protection service for individuals, businesses and partners such as MSPs. It backs up Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Windows, macOS and Linux workstations, mobile devices, physical and virtual servers, hosting servers (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin) and Synology NAS devices. The platform also includes antivirus, anti-malware and ransomware protection; EDR, XDR, email security and data loss prevention are optional add-ons. The service is built on Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud under a strategic partnership with Acronis and is delivered as a cloud service, with a local storage option for on-premises backups.

euBackups is operated by European Web Services SG UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in Berlin, Germany. According to the provider, all data stays in the EU, in ISO 27001-certified German data centres. The product is not open source. Because the technology rests on Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, organisations should review the data processing agreement and the underlying dependencies as part of their assessment.

Why digital sovereignty matters with euBackups

euBackups is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so euBackups scores best on data residency.

euBackups is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs euBackups together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
