If you want to be one of the privileged few people who will get chance to influence the development of the next version of SQL Backup then please email me (helen.joyce@red-gate.com) for more details.

There’s a major upgrade of SQL Backup planned and while we are keeping a number of the big features under out hats, we do like to get usability feedback during the development process from a wide cross section of the target audience. There’s no preparation required on your part and we’re not testing the candidates in any way. Running usability programs is an essential part of the design process for SQL Backup and therefore feedback from SQL Server DBA’s and developers is extremely valuable to us. Those who are willing to take part will be rewarded for their time. It’s also a great opportunity to have some bearing on how the next major version evolves.
