SQL safe backup

SQL Server backup compression with network fault tolerance and zero impact encryption

• Fast, compressed & encrypted SQL backup and restore
• SQL Server backup compression of up to 95%
• Save time – at least 50% faster than native SQL backups
• Virtually eliminates application downtown using Instant Restore
• Central management of backups enterprise-wide

Key benefits:

Maximize backup file compression

SQL safe backup’s new patent-pending IntelliCompress2™ technology continually samples system resource usage and automatically adjusts the compression level to ensure the best compression given the state of the environment.

Reduces backup time dramatically

SQL safe backup contains highly advanced compression, disk writing and multi-threading technologies that dramatically increase the speed of backup execution. Reducing backup time increases the available window in which to perform other critical SQL Server maintenance activities.

Reduces failures due to network glitches

SQL safe backup greatly reduces the possibility of a failure due to a network problem. If a temporary network outage occurs, SQL safe backup will simply pause and pick up where it left off once the network is back online.

Accelerates Mean Time to Recovery

SQL safe backup has been engineered to perform well when you most need it – in an emergency recovery situation. With SQL safe backup’s innovative IntelliRestore™ graphical point-in-time recovery, DBAs simply use a sliding time scale to select a recovery point and SQL safe backup automatically assembles all the backup components necessary to restore the database to the specified point in time.

Ensures compliance with corporate policies

SQL safe offers unique Policy based management which enables DBAs to define and automate a backup, restore or log shipping schedule across multiple servers and databases. This greatly simplifies the task of setting up and managing backup and log shipping schedules and provides exception reporting to highlight any jobs that did not complete as scheduled.

High Performance Backup and Recovery

IntelliCompress2™ Technology: Provides state of the art technology that continually samples system resources and automatically adjusts the compression level to produce the smallest backup in the fastest possible time.

Instant Restore: Patent-pending Instant Restore will bring the database online in minutes virtually eliminating application downtime. Once online, SQLsafe streams data from the backup file “on-demand” to support applications and user requests while completing the restore operation in the background.

IntelliRestore™: Offers innovative IntelliRestore graphical point in time recovery. Using a sliding time scale, choose a point in time, and SQL safe backup will automatically assemble all the backup components necessary to restore the database to the specified point in time.

Network Resilient: Eliminate backup and restore failures due to temporary network outages by pausing and then resuming from the point where it left off once the network comes back online.

Encryption: Provides AES 128 and AES 256-bit encryption with less than 0.5% performance degradation.

Backup Mirroring: Quickly and easily write duplicate backup files to different locations during a single backup operation.

Runs outside SQL Server Process space: Eliminates risk and increases performance by running as a separate process outside the SQL Server process space. SQL safe backup does not install any additional databases, DLLs, scripts, stored procedures or tables on the SQL Server instances.

Enterprise Management Features

Centralized Management Console: Provides a central enterprise console with real-time monitoring of current backup and restore operations as well as historical backup and restore information.

Central Repository: All backup and restore information is stored in a central repository to enable full auditing of backup history across the enterprise.

Backup, Restore and Log Shipping Policies: Define backup, restore and log shipping policies and monitor to ensure backups and restores perform as specified.

Alerting: Receive alerts on the result of any operation, including failures, warning, misses or even successful operations in your environment.

Reports: Provides a comprehensive catalog of customizable reports delivered using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.

Tivoli Storage Manager Integration: Provides an interface to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for permanent, state-of-the-art storage of SQL safe backup files.

Multiple Interface: Provides multiple interfaces – enterprise console, command-line and XSP.
