SQLsafe 4.9 also enables a complete automated backup of the entire SQL Server infrastructure while ensuring compliance with an organization's backup and recovery policies. It also eliminates risk and increases performance by running as a separate process outside of the SQL Server process space.

SQLsafe 4.9's features include:

 

  • Automatically groomed historical backup and restore data stored in the SQLsafe repository and enhanced repository performance for quicker status processing and reporting in large enterprise deployments.
  • Advanced compression, disk writing and multi-threading technologies that dramatically increase the speed of backup execution. Reducing backup time increases the available window for you to perform other critical SQL Server maintenance activities.
  • Compliance with corporate backup policies, which is insured by the offer of unique policy-based backup management. This enables DBAs to define and automate a backup schedule across multiple servers and databases.
  • IntelliRestore graphical point-in-time recovery, a new feature that allows DBAs to use a sliding time scale to select a recovery point. From there, SQLsafe automatically assembles all the backup components necessary to restore the database to the specified point in time. SQLsafe can also perform table level recovery from a SQLsafe backup file.
