SQL Backup Pro creates smaller, safer, faster backups of SQL Server databases. Backups are compressed, reducing storage space and hardware requirements (often known as "database zip"), they are created in less time than native backups and are securely encrypted. Native SQL Server backups are essentially just a dump of data stored in SQL Server .mdf and .ldf files. This is an inefficient and insecure way of storing backup data as it is stored unencrypted, unprotected and uncompressed. SQL Backup Pro is an enterprise-level tool that scales to meet the needs of larger SQL Server implementations. Access and manage all server backups remotely, from a central, client-based GUI. Secure your data, and meet compliance requirements, with 256-bit AES encryption.
The following editions are available:
SQL Backup is also available as part of SQL Toolbelt.
