What can SQLBackupAndFTP do

SQLBackupAndFTP is MS SQL Server backup software that runs scheduled backups of SQL Server or SQL Server Express databases (any version), zips and encrypts the backups, stores them on a network or on a FTP server, removes old backups, and sends an e-mail confirmation on job's success or failure. It can also backup remote/hosted databases using script backup.

What's unique about SQLBackupAndFTP software

  • Simple: SQLBackupAndFTP is unique in its simplicity - the whole "set it and forget it" job can be done in a single form with no tabs in a minute of two.
  • All-in-one: The whole backup - zip - ftp - confirm process is integrated as 1-2-3 (4)
  • Inexpensive or free: Comparable functionality starts in programs from $200. In SQLBackupAndFTP you can use a free version (if you need to schedule one or two databases), or upgrade to a Standard version for $49 to get unlimited scheduled SQL Server database backups. Professional adds AES encryption and FTP options for $99 $79
  • Credible: Created by a US based software company with years in .NET and SQL Server experience

Where should SQLBackupAndFTP be used

SQLBackupAndFTP is ideal for any SQL Server database where backups have to be sent daily to a remote FTP server. It is especially useful for SQL Server Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2008, since they don't have built in tools for backup at all, but can be used in any SQL Server Version.

  • Local Instances when SQLBackupAndFTP is installed on the server (Backups are done using BACKUP DATABASE command)
  • If you use shared hosting and can connect to your SQL server using SQL Management Studio (SQLBackupAndFTP generates script (T-SQL) files to restore database)

Where it should not be used

SQLBackupAndFTP is made to be simple. While for majority if users this is a huge advantage, some specific configurations are not handled. You should not use SQLBackupAndFTP if:

  • If you use shared hosting and can not connect to your SQL server using SQL Management Studio
  • If you want to backup MySQL. We backup MS SQL Server databases, not MySQL.

Why you shouldn't be reading this

If you've got that far down the page - you've spent too much time reading. In the same amount of time you could have downloaded SQLBackupAndFTP Free (a meager 0.8MB) and tested all of the features yourself - it is a one page application with all of its features immediately clear.
