More information about SQL Backup 6.4
SQL Backup has 35,000+ customers worldwide, including customers in the Fortune 100, FTSE 100, government, healthcare, financial services and education sectors. SQL Backup compresses and strengthens SQL Server backups, so you can save time and safeguard your organization's data. Try SQL Backup Pro's fourth compression level for even higher backup compression rates and make significant budget savings on storage space.
If you write or copy SQL Server database backups across networks, use SQL Backup Pro's network resilience for a fault-tolerant transfer. When temporary network outages occur, network resilience intelligently resumes backup operations from where they were disrupted. This means the need for your intervention is minimized and time lost to flaky networks is greatly reduced.
SQL Backup comes in two editions: Pro and Lite. To view the differences between each edition, see the feature comparison table.
The easiest way to see how SQL Backup can help you is to try it out. You can download a free, 14-day trial of the Pro edition and take advantage of full support throughout your evaluation period.
