SQLBackupAndFTP is a software that backups SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL Server databases, performs regular full, differential, and transaction log backups, runs file/folder backup, zips and encrypts the backups, stores them on a network or on an FTP server or in the cloud (Amazon S3 and others - we're constantly adding more), removes old backups, and sends an e-mail confirmation on the job's success or failure.
SQLBackupAndFTP is ideal for any SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, or Amazon RDS SQL database where backups should be sent to FTP, SFTP, FTPS, NAS, local or network folder, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Amazon S3 (and any S3-Compatible storage), Azure Storage, Backblaze B2, Yandex.Disk. It is especially useful for any SQL Server versions, including Azure SQL and Amazon RDS SQL, MySQL, and MariaDB or PostgreSQL, since they don't have built-in in tools for backup.
SQLBackupAndFTP is made to be simple. While for the majority of the users this is a huge advantage, some specific configurations are not handled. You should not use SQLBackupAndFTP if you want to monitor SQL Server performance and schedule backups online in your browser for a large number of servers - SqlBak.com may be suited better for you.
