Backup SQL Server to Tape, Hard Drive, NAS, File
BackupAssist allows you to backup your SQL Server as part of your complete Windows server backup, or as a standalone backup job. You can backup to tape drive, hard drive, NAS (eg. SNAP Server), or to a generic file.
Straightforward to install and use
The "push-button" configuration wizard guides you through the essential steps to include your Microsoft SQL Server databases into your existing, trusted Windows Server backup strategy. There is no need to write scripts or batch files. Other features, such as report monitoring (via email or printer), keep you informed of backup results automatically, and ensures the process is hassle free.
For owners of tape drives, you are even instructed by BackupAssist (via email) on when to change tapes - effectively minimizing human error.
The Smart and Economical SQL Backup Software Solution
The SQL Server backups created by BackupAssist are kept in the standard SQL Server backup format, allowing you to restore your data on any SQL Server using the standard tools that come with Microsoft SQL Server, and without any additional software, processes or licenses.
Priced at just US $117, the BackupAssist™ SQL Server Addon Module is a leading alternative to more widely known brands of SQL Server backup software - less than one quarter the price of competing products, such as Veritas BackupExec™ and CA Arcserve.
"This is possible due to some very clever technological innovations" says CEO Linus Chang.
