Summary

SQL Backup Pro by Red Gate Software

Compressed and encrypted backup and recovery for SQL Server databases. 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.

Manage multiple servers' backup operations remotely. Includes enterprise level functionality. SQL Backup is one of the leading tools for creating, compressing and protecting your SQL Server backups. Compatible with SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008, it includes a range of features to make backups faster, simpler and more secure. SQL Backup is used by nearly 5,000 organizations worldwide such as GE, 3M, AT&T, Los Alamos National Labs, Unilever, Panasonic and the US Navy.

Save time and space – compress database backups by up to 95%for faster backups and restores

Protect your data – use up to 256-bit AES encryption

Feature list:

Compression – three levels of compression, giving you a choice to optimize for speed or for size*.

Compression Analyzer – samples data to help you determine which compression level is best suited to your requirements.

Extremely secure backups – with 256-bit AES encryption, SQL Backup Pro secures your backup files from unauthorized access.

Management of restoration is easier and requires less time. Complexity is removed through the filtering options provided.

Makes both backing up and restoring faster– as the time taken to back up is significantly reduced, this will reduce the chance of something going wrong during the backup process.

GUI – take advantage of the user-friendly wizards to guide you through the backup and restore process.

Timeline Monitoring™ lets you visualize the properties of past, current and future activities. The timeline is highly interactive, allowing you to zoom in and out to view potential clashes and the status of backups and restores. With one click, you can quickly change the properties of scheduled backups and restores.

Enhanced backup and restore history are available in both the timeline and the activity history tab, so that you can identify problem areas before they cause backups to fail.

Integrates with SQL Server Agent – so you can schedule database backups to run regularly with no intervention.

Enterprise and server level reporting means you can generate reports across your entire enterprise or just for a single server.

Command-line interface – for power users who want total control of SQL Backup. Use syntax similar to T-SQL's BACKUP and RESTORE commands to set up your maintenance plans.

Extended stored procedure – run backup and restore operations using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

Split backups – take advantage of multi-CPU and high-speed disk array systems to speed up the backup and restore process even further.

Mirrored backups – create two or more backup files simultaneously to different disks, to minimize the possibility of media errors.

Multiple threads within the engine let you achieve backups to a single file faster.

Log Shipping wizard guides you through the process of setting up log shipping backup and restore jobs.

*Please note that if SQL Backup Lite is installed on the SQL Server, you can choose only compression level 0 (no compression) or compression level 1, the default compression level. Level 1 is the fastest compression level, but it can result in larger backup files than backup files produced using compression level 2 or 3. Compression levels 0, 1, 2 and 3 are all available with a SQL Backup Pro license.
