Backup, restore, and verify – the three main features of any good backup strategy – are simple with SQL Backup Pro.

It takes fast, small, secure SQL Server database backups, based on whatever schedule you set.

Once you've made your backups, it can check they're free from corruption with optional CHECKSUM and RESTORE VERIFYONLY steps.

With the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard, you can also set up automatic verification with the gold-standard integrity check, DBCC CHECKDB, for complete confidence that your backup is error-free.

With automated backup verification, you'll gain peace of mind, and save time, hassle, and money.

I'm really seeing the benefits of using SQL Backup Pro over SQL Management Studio. It's a real time saver when it comes to automatically restoring and validating backups. And don't get me started on the compression!

The main thing that I love about SQL Backup Pro is the fact it just works! There is no messing around, no hacking together, it just works as soon as you open the box. It's easy to use and extremely reliable.

One of my favorite features is the centralized management. No matter how many backup nodes you have, you can manage them all from one interface. It makes life so much easier.

We wanted to standardize our backup regime and not have some backups taken using native SQL Server and some with SQL Backup Pro. Consistency is a good thing when you're managing lots of servers.

Protecting the backups is important so the encryption built into SQL Backup is solid. The password protection available in native SQL backups isn't really protection at all.
