MS SQL Server Backup
Do Not Compromise on Database Consistency
Backupera MS SQL Server Backup offers the precision required by Database Administrators (DBAs). It takes backups without compromising consistency even while your databases are running and users are transacting. It prevents your disk from filling up by backing up Transaction Logs and automatically truncating them. Most importantly, thanks to "Point-in-Time Recovery" which reduces data loss to seconds, you can revert to the moment just before a table was accidentally deleted.

Frequently Asked Questions
SQL Server backup manages a specialized process designed to take a consistent copy of your databases even while they are running. Unlike standard file backup, it integrates with the SQL VSS Writer to maintain data integrity and allows you to restore your database in seconds in the event of a disaster.
Transaction log backups capture all live changes in the database. After this backup is taken, the log file is automatically truncated to prevent your disk from filling up. This process is critical for both data security and server performance.
Point-in-Time Recovery allows you to revert your database to a specific moment (at the hour, minute, second level) just before an error or data corruption occurs. This minimizes data loss and quickly compensates for operational errors.
Backupera can back up all versions of MS SQL Server from 2008 to 2022, as well as all packages including Express, Standard, and Enterprise with full compatibility.
No, Backupera performs backups using the SQL VSS Writer. This method ensures data consistency without freezing the database or causing service interruption. The backup process is optimized to use minimum server resources (CPU/RAM).
Your data is protected on the client side with AES-256 bit encryption. Additionally, with 'Object Lock' technology in supported cloud storage areas, your backups are made undeletable, ensuring full protection against ransomware attacks.
With the flexible scheduler, you can set different periods for full, differential, and log backups. Thanks to GFS policies, you automatically archive your daily, weekly, and monthly backups and keep your storage costs under control.
You can send your backups to both a server/disk on the local network (local storage) and concurrently to a secure cloud storage area (AWS, Azure, Wasabi, etc.). This 'hybrid' approach offers the balance of fastest restore and highest data security.
