What can SQLBackupAndFTP do
SQLBackupAndFTP is MS SQL Server backup software that runs scheduled backups
(full, differential or transaction log) of SQL Server or SQL Server Express
databases (any version), runs file/folder backup, 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
$69 $59
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. For MySQL,
use another product - MySQLBackupFTP
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.
