Backup Job

In this section, we will provide a detailed description of all options available in the SQLBackupAndFTP backup job.

SQLBackupAndFTP performs a backup job in the following way:

  1. Creates a backup file in a temporary folder. If the temporary folder isn’t specified, SQLBackupAndFTP will use a default folder that is created when installing SQLBackupAndFTP, for example, C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\Pranas.NET\SBF.
  2. Compresses the backup files in the temporary folder
  3. Removes the uncompressed backup file from the temporary folder
  4. Sends the compressed backup file to selected destinations
  5. Removes the compressed backup files from the temporary folder

Note: This process requires sufficient free space in the temporary folder to store both the backup file and the compressed backup file simultaneously.
