Uranium Backup: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Uranium Backup is backup software for Windows that protects files, folders, databases, virtual machines and disk images. Backups can go to local disks, tape, NAS devices, cloud storage or FTP, FTPS and SFTP servers, and the product page highlights support for VMware vSphere and Hyper-V hosts. The software is installed on the user's own systems.

The publisher, Nanosystems S.r.l., is based in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, so the company is subject to EU law. Because the software runs on the customer's systems, backups stay on the targets the customer selects. Those targets determine the sovereignty outcome: local or EU-hosted storage keeps data within European jurisdiction, while a non-EU cloud or FTP host would not. The company's ownership is not stated on the public pages.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Uranium Backup

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

Uranium Backup runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Uranium Backup is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

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