Evaluating two cloud-based backup solutions for public cloud workloads
Updated June 29, 2026
AWS Backup
Best when you need a simple, cost-effective backup solution tightly integrated with AWS services
Azure Backup
Best when you require a comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution with advanced security features and wide workload support
Azure Backup edges out AWS Backup due to its comprehensive backup and disaster recovery capabilities, advanced security features, and wide support for various workloads and applications. However, Azure Backup's higher cost and more complex deployment process make it less suitable for smaller businesses or those with limited IT resources. AWS Backup offers a more affordable and user-friendly alternative, but with some limitations in support for on-premises environments and disaster recovery capabilities. Overall, Azure Backup is the better choice for large enterprises with complex backup and disaster recovery needs in Azure environments.
