What's unique about SQLBackupAndFTP software

• Simple: SQLBackupAndFTP is unique in it's 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 Premium version for $49 to get unlimited scheduled SQL Server database backups.
• Credible: Created by a US based software company (see about us) 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 would save maintenance time on any SQL Server version, but 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.

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 need remote backups (We are working on remote backups, but currently SQLBackupAndFTP has to be installed on the server)
• If you need differential backups (SQLBackupAndFTP makes full backups only)
• If backups need to be encrypted (will be available soon)
• If you use an SFTP or any other atypical FTP server. (SQLBackupAndFTP has "FTP Test" button so it is very easy to see if it works.)

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 0.5MB) and tested all of the features yourself - it is a one page application with all of it's features immediatelly clear.
