SQL HyperBac 5.4

Database administration tools for SQL Server

HyperBac is the original filter driver compression and encryption technology, industry-proven with customers in the Fortune 100, FTSE 100 and government, healthcare, financial and technology sectors.

Developed by a team with experience both in the third-party SQL Server backup tools market and database administration, HyperBac technology is designed for DBAs who want a zero-touch deployment combined with speed and seamless integration in their environments.

The HyperBac difference

The HyperBac difference lies in the technology's unrivalled simplicity and extensibility. Products powered by HyperBac are installed at the system layer with a single component on the target server. No hooks or links in to your SQL Server instances and no extended stored procedures are required, providing a zero-touch deployment.

Powered by HyperBac in practice

Take a backup with SQL HyperBac

1. Once you have installed SQL HyperBac, configure the file extension you wish to use for compressed and/or encrypted backups, for example, .bak files, in the HyperBac Configuration Manager.
2. When you trigger your backup, the HyperBac Service detects the backup operation and the data is silently compressed by SQL HyperBac as it is written out to disk.
3. The compressed backup is written to the target folder, as specified in your native command or maintenance plan. If you choose to restore the backup, the HyperBac Service will decompress the backup as it is read from disk.

Mount a live database directly from a backup with SQL Virtual Restore

1. Use the SQL Virtual Restore Wizard to select the SQL Server on which the backup whose data you want to access is located.
2. Select the backup file to mount.
3. Specify the new destination from which you want to access the backup's data as a live database.
4. When the destination is configured, SQL Virtual Restore rapidly maps out the objects within the backup file. It also handles all rollback and other transactions in the backup, making the live database mounted from the backup ACID compliant. You get access to a transactionally consistent, fully functional database, available directly from your backup file in much less time than a physical restore would take.

Compress live databases with SQL Storage Compress

1. Create a backup of the database you want to run from compressed files, using your standard T-SQL, SQL Backup Pro, or SQL HyperBac.
2. Restore the backup, but specify SQL Storage Compress' .mdfx, .ndfx, and .ldfx file formats, instead of standard .mdf, .ndf and .ldf extensions.
3. Your compressed database is now available, live and fully-functional. It works just like a standard database, and can be queried as normal, but has a considerably reduced storage footprint.
