SQL Backup Pro case studies

SQL Backup - Faster, secure backups and the end of the dreaded highway trips

Before buying Red Gate's SQL Backup, Conan Whalen-McKain, a senior technical consultant, had to face the Capital Beltway whenever he had to retrieve backups. See how SQL Backup helped.

Testimonials for SQL Monitor

Being web-based, SQL Monitor 2.0 enables you to check on your servers from almost any location.

Jonathan Allen, Senior DBA

One of the first things I do every morning is check SQL Monitor. It now has a permanent place on our monitoring screens so we can see at an instance what our database servers and the databases themselves are doing. With future additions this tool will receive, it's just going to get better and better...

Testimonials for SQL Virtual Restore

At Kiwibank, we have all of our SQL backups sitting on a file share, and as part of the server that hosts the file share, we have SQL Server with SQL Virtual Restore installed. We find occasions where someone has deleted data accidentally or dropped an index etc., and with SQL Virtual Restore we can mount last night's backup quickly and easily to get access to the data or the original schema. It even works with all our backups being encrypted. This takes any extra load off our production server. SQL Virtual Restore is a great product.

Brent McCracken, Senior Database Administrator/Architect, Kiwibank Limited

If you find yourself frequently copying backups across the network and restore them on UAT and/or DEV servers in order to provide a production-like environment for developers and/or testers, even if you have this process automated, SQL Virtual Restore is definitely worth having a real close look at. It can cut down the time until such an environment is ready to use dramatically and can save precious network resources, which is a Win-win situation for everyone.

Testimonials for SQL HyperBac

Like so many, we had problems with our storage space on both the data and backup drives. With both SQL HyperBac and SQL Storage Compress, we not only saved more than 1tb of disk space but we also did it without any of our users noticing anything. These products are going to be strongly recommended to our customers who are going through the same issues.

Steve Martin, IT Technician - Internal Support, Société GRICS

SQL HyperBac radically changed the speed of and storage needed for our SQL backups. Native SQL backup of our 80GB db was taking 2 hours, with SQL HyperBac it dropped to 23 minutes. Backup file size went from 80GB to 6.4GB. As a result of the speed, our other SQL backups finish faster and server performance is back to normal a lot faster. Couldn't ask for a better product.
