Why SQL Backup Pro?

SQL Backup achieved almost 90% data compression, and the reduction in per-GB data costs resulted in 100% ROI in just one month!

Andy Hughes, Snr SQL Server DBA

I never thought I would care too much about improving the process of performing a backup and restore, but even that simple task is so much easier with SQL Backup. Ship to the network is a beauty, I spent days previously with batch files to achieve this.
