What support is there for the variety of SQL Server backups available, or does this just try to snap a copy of the file system files?

Thanks

I know many of you already backup but honestly ive had bad files come up or dro pa table on accident or truncate one or whatever then to only find my latest backup was overwritten etc etc. Well a new service I am using for remote backups is www.********.com. Try it out and you can actually schedule these backups to run at night, encrypted and can use retention for 100s of days. It actually works too.




Why don't you just spend a couple bucks and advertise for real on this site? Then, when you post about your product you won't be thought of as a spammer. On top of that, you probably should spell check your spam prior to posting it.

this forum is for posting technical questions, not spams like this. Hereafter avoid this.

I removed the spammy original post. Although now I wish I'd left the post and just deleted the URL of the product. Oh well.

"Hereafter avoid this." -- That's my new favorite quote!

Sorry about this. I honestly just wanted to advise sql users. I agree, it was 'spammy' so my apologies.I have contacted the site for advertising. I have worked with sql server myself and backing it up is of course critical. To answer your question yes it affords full authentication and actual sql query to backup vs just a raw file dump of the data directory. It uses a technology called in file delta only updating changes in files and is quite stable.

As a matter of fact -- the entire thread is going to the other topics forum.

you guys are wonderful.. i see posts and posts regarding people having issues with restoring or backing up data and in many cases 'no solution' and someone offers a service to help and everyone freaks out. Possible a real solution and you dont even give it a chance.

Your spam offers no assistance to the many 'posts and posts regarding issues with restoring'. If your product is so useful, write an article about how it can be used with SQL Server, include examples with code and then link to it. Participate in the forums and help people with their SQL Server questions - but don't force your spam bullshit on us. You sure go about selling your product in a completely moronic way if you are indeed legitimate. Your product most likely sucks anyway.

my 'you're dead to us' comment was kind of a joke at first. But now..
