# Get Started

Welcome to the Eon docs.
Use this page to find what you need, whether you're setting up Eon for the first time or looking for something specific.

## Learn about Eon

If you're new to Eon, read the [Eon System Overview](/data-protection/eon-system-overview) to learn about Eon's platform and how it works.

## Connect your sources

Connect the cloud workloads you want to protect so Eon can start discovering your resources.

**Cloud workloads**:

#### [AWS: Connect Source Accounts](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/aws/source-accounts/aws-connect-source-accounts)

#### [Azure: Connect Source Subscriptions](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/azure/source-subscriptions/azure-connect-source-subscriptions)

#### [GCP: Connect Source Projects](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/gcp/source-projects/gcp-connect-source-projects)

#### [MongoDB Atlas: Connect Source Projects](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/mongodb-atlas/source-projects/mongodb-atlas-connect-source-projects)

**SaaS applications**:

#### [Google Workspace: Connect Source Workspaces](/data-protection/saas-workloads/google-workspace/connections/connect-source-workspaces)

#### [Microsoft 365: Connect Source Tenants](/data-protection/saas-workloads/microsoft-365/connections/connect-source-tenants)

#### [Microsoft Entra ID: Connect Source Tenants](/data-protection/saas-workloads/microsoft-entra-id/connections/connect-source-tenants)

## Protect your data

With your cloud workloads connected, set up how Eon organizes, backs up, and monitors your data.

#### Configure discovery

Discovery finds the resources Eon can back up.
Configure discovery if you want to exclude specific resources from classification and backup.

#### [About Discovery](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/backup-configuration/discovery/about-discovery)

#### [Manage Discovery Configuration](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/backup-configuration/discovery/manage-discovery-configuration)

#### Create vaults

Vaults are the secure, isolated storage destinations for your backup snapshots.
Create a vault before you set up backup policies.

#### [About Vaults](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/backup-configuration/vaults/about-vaults)

#### [Manage Vaults](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/backup-configuration/vaults/manage-vaults)

#### Set your backup policies

Backup policies define what to back up, how often, and which vault to store the snapshots in.

#### [About Backup Policies](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/backup-configuration/backup-policies/about-backup-policies)

#### [Manage Backup Policies](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/backup-configuration/backup-policies/manage-backup-policies)

#### Enable threat detection

Ransomware detection monitors your snapshots for signs of ransomware.
Assign the resources you want to monitor.

#### [About Ransomware Detection](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/threat-detection/about-ransomware-detection)

#### [Configure Ransomware Detection](/data-protection/backup-and-protection/threat-detection/configure-ransomware-detection)

## Restore your data

Restoring copies data from an Eon snapshot back to your cloud account, subscription, project, or tenant.

#### Connect restore accounts

Before you can restore, connect a restore account for the cloud service you want to restore to.
Once it's connected, you can restore to it any time.

**Cloud workloads**:

#### [AWS: Connect Restore Accounts](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/aws/restore-accounts/aws-connect-restore-accounts)

#### [Azure: Connect Restore Subscriptions](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/azure/restore-subscriptions/azure-connect-restore-subscriptions)

#### [GCP: Connect Restore Projects](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/gcp/restore-projects/gcp-connect-restore-projects)

#### [MongoDB Atlas: Connect Restore Projects](/data-protection/cloud-workloads/mongodb-atlas/restore-projects/mongodb-atlas-connect-restore-projects)

**SaaS applications**:

#### [Google Workspace: Connect Restore Workspaces](/data-protection/saas-workloads/google-workspace/connections/connect-restore-workspaces)

#### [Microsoft 365: Connect Restore Tenants](/data-protection/saas-workloads/microsoft-365/connections/connect-restore-tenants)

#### [Microsoft Entra ID: Connect Restore Tenants](/data-protection/saas-workloads/microsoft-entra-id/connections/connect-restore-tenants)

#### Restore

Once your restore account is connected, find the resource's snapshot in Eon and restore it. See the Restoring Overview for instructions by resource type.

#### [Restoring Overview](/data-protection/restoring/restoring-overview)

## Integrate with Eon

Extend Eon's capabilities by integrating with your existing tools.

#### [About AI Integrations](/data-protection/integrations/ai-integrations/about-ai-integrations)

#### [About Notification Policies](/data-protection/integrations/notifications/about-notification-policies)

Or use the Eon API to build your own integrations.

#### [Eon API Overview](/api/overview)
