Automated backup, granular recovery, AI-powered protection operations, and intelligent access to protected M365 data across Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Updated on: Oct 19, 2026 Explore the Article Join 10k infra & data pros. Quick summary. * Eon now protects Microsoft 365: Protect Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint with automated, point-in-time backups and granular recovery. * AI agents can operate the protection lifecycle: Check protection status, initiate backups, investigate incidents, identify the right recovery point, and launch governed restores. * Protected Microsoft 365 data becomes accessible to AI: Search and reason across live and historical data, including content that has been deleted, changed, or no longer exists in the live tenant. Why Microsoft 365 needs a dedicated recovery layer. Most Microsoft 365 data loss are caused by everyday operational and security events, including: * Accidental deletion of emails, files, folders, or entire document libraries * Departing employees clearing mailboxes or leaving behind orphaned OneDrive content * Site and ownership changes that do not preserve document structure cleanly * Compromised accounts deleting or altering data at scale * Ransomware encrypting files and syncing the damage across OneDrive and SharePoint * AI agents and automated workflows modifying data at machine speed, as in cases where an AI deletes a database along with its backups Native recovery options help in some recent-deletion scenarios, but they are bounded by retention windows, current-state data, and the specific type of loss. Once items age out of the recoverable items folder or the site recycle bin, admins may not have a clean recovery point to restore from. And because retention policies preserve data for compliance, they do not let you roll a mailbox, folder, or document library back to how it looked before the damage occurred. For enterprise teams, this creates a gap between retaining data for compliance and recovering data quickly when something goes wrong. How Eon extends Protection for Microsoft 365. Eon adds a dedicated recovery layer for Microsoft 365 with automated, point-in-time backups for Exchange Online, OneDrive, and SharePoint, extending protection beyond native retention tools. Setup is straightforward. Eon connects through Microsoft Entra ID with tenant-wide admin consent, and admins can onboard directly or use generated Azure CLI and Terraform snippets to fit protection into existing infrastructure-as-code workflows. Backups run daily by default. After the initial full backup, Eon uses Microsoft Graph delta queries to capture only what changed, minimizing load on the tenant while maintaining reliable recovery points. Eon also preserves critical metadata such as permissions, sensitivity labels, and sharing settings, so restored data comes back with the context teams need. When recovery is needed, admins can restore only what was affected. OneDrive items can be restored in place or to a separate restore folder, while Exchange items can be recovered to a destination folder of the admin's choosing. Because Eon's recovery points live outside the Microsoft 365 tenant, they remain isolated from ransomware, compromised accounts, or malicious sync activity affecting production data. Eon scans recovery points for ransomware and anomalies, helping admins identify and restore from the most recent clean point with permissions and sharing settings intact. Agentic protection and recovery. Eon also exposes Microsoft 365 protection and recovery through MCP, allowing AI agents to work across both live and protected data. Agents can investigate changes, search historical data, identify the right recovery point, and initiate governed restores in natural language, all within the signed-in user's permissions and with Multi-Party Approval (MPA) available for sensitive actions.

Microsoft 365 includes strong infrastructure, compliance, retention, and eDiscovery capabilities, but organizations may still need a dedicated backup and recovery layer. Microsoft's shared responsibility model makes the customer responsible for their own data. Backup helps teams restore clean, point-in-time copies after accidental deletion, compromised accounts, ransomware, insider activity, or AI-driven changes. What does Eon back up in Microsoft 365? Eon protects Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Entra ID, giving admins automated recovery points and granular restore across critical Microsoft 365 data. How often does Eon back up Microsoft 365? Eon runs Microsoft 365 backups daily by default, giving teams recurring recovery points they can use when data is deleted, altered, or encrypted. Can Eon restore a single email or file? Yes. Eon supports granular restore, allowing admins to recover specific emails, files, or folders without restoring more data than necessary. OneDrive restores can overwrite the original file in place or be placed into a new restore folder. How does Eon complement Microsoft 365 native tools? Eon complements Microsoft 365 by adding an independent recovery layer. Microsoft 365 provides native compliance, retention, and eDiscovery capabilities, while Eon provides automated backup, point-in-time recovery, and granular restore for recovery scenarios. How does Eon connect to my Microsoft 365 tenant? Eon connects through a Microsoft Entra ID application registration with tenant admin consent. Backup uses read-only application permissions; restore uses a separate application with write access. Consent can be granted interactively or automated via Azure CLI or Terraform. How does AI-driven Microsoft 365 recovery work with Eon? Eon's MCP server gives AI agents access to protected backup data and recovery capabilities, while Microsoft 365's MCP server connects them to the Microsoft 365 environment. With both connected, users can search for lost or changed data in natural language and initiate governed recovery workflows through the agent. How does Eon help with ransomware in Microsoft 365? Eon stores recovery points outside the Microsoft 365 tenant, keeping them isolated from ransomware or malicious activity affecting production data. Eon identifies affected content which allows admin to identify the affected content, select the most recent clean recovery point, and restore files with their original permissions and sharing settings intact.

EON at AWS 2024: A time-machine booth from workshop to show floor. A video look at EON's booth at AWS 2024 - an orange time-machine pod with a walk-in TIMEPOD3000 experience, demo screens and an open lounge - and the ET EXPO team building it. * Published - Oct 2, 2026 * Last updated - Oct 2, 2026 * Reading time - 2 min * Author - ET Expo * Category - Expo Video EON came to AWS 2024 with a booth built around one clear idea: a time machine. This video moves between the finished exhibit on the show floor and its workshop, where the pieces were built before they ever reached the hall. The center of the space is a tall, rounded orange pod with illuminated EON letters on top and a white light ring around its crown. Riveted double doors lead inside to the TIMEPOD3000, a dark, porthole-lined cabin with headphones and a screen sequence that plays like a launch countdown. Visitors step in, sit down and get a short, self-contained experience before they talk to the team. Around the pod, the booth stays open. A demo counter with keyboard stations and a framed screen carries EON's Cloud Backup Posture Management message, while white cube seats and orange-topped stools give people a place to stop without blocking the aisle. The video also shows part of the work behind it: the ET EXPO crew in the shop assembling and finishing the white counter units before they were shipped and installed. What Etexpous like about this project is how much the theme does on its own. The pod is visible from a distance, the experience inside gives visitors a reason to wait their turn, and the open floor around it keeps the booth easy to walk into. ET EXPO designs, fabricates and installs custom trade show booths for technology exhibitors at major U.S. convention events, from the first concept through on-site coordination. Frequently asked questions. What was EON's booth at AWS 2024 built around? A time-machine theme: a tall orange pod with a walk-in TIMEPOD3000 experience at its center, surrounded by demo stations and an open seating area. Can an immersive experience fit inside a trade show booth? Yes. In this project the enclosed pod held the experience, while the rest of the booth stayed open for demos and conversations. Does ET EXPO build the booth components itself? Yes. As the video shows, the ET EXPO team builds and finishes booth components in the workshop before they are shipped and installed at the show.
