SQL Clone

Clone SQL Server databases in seconds and save up to 99% disk space

Revolutionize the way you provision SQL Server databases and help your team develop, test, and ship changes faster

Take the pain out of creating and managing copies of production databases, so you and your team can ship changes faster

SQL Clone is a database provisioning tool that lets you create full copies of SQL Server databases and backups in seconds, using around 40 MB of disk space per clone.

Instead of spending hours provisioning multiple copies of your database for development, testing, or diagnostics, SQL Clone creates a single ‘image’ of a SQL Server database or backup, which is used as the source for multiple clones.

Each clone works just like a normal database, but takes only a few seconds to create and requires only around 40MB of disk space.

With SQL Clone's web app and built-in PowerShell automation, DBAs spend much less time on provisioning requests. Meanwhile, developers and testers can work on up-to-date, isolated copies of the database to speed up development, accurately test code, and fix issues faster.
