SQL Backup Master Help

SQL Backup Master uses a simple and transparent process to create, compress, and store database backups.

Why Transparency Matters

One of SQL Backup Master’s greatest strengths is its transparent, non-proprietary approach. SQL Backup Master leverages SQL Server’s native backup capabilities to create standard database backup files. It then compresses (and optionally encrypts) these backups using the compression algorithm of your choice (or none at all, if you prefer) and uploads them to your configured backup destination(s).
 

What this means for you: you’re never locked into using SQL Backup Master when recovering a database from backup. While SQL Backup Master offers a streamlined database recovery option, it isn’t performing any operations you couldn’t do manually if necessary. In fact, manual recovery is straightforward:

1.Download the backup file from your backup destination

2.Decompress it using readily available tools

3.Restore the database directly via SQL Server (using SQL Server Management Studio or SQL statements)

 
This point cannot be overstated - SQL Backup Master enhances the SQL Server database backup process without limiting your flexibility. Just as importantly, your database recovery process isn't trapped behind an expensive licensing paywall from a third-party vendor. Your data remains your data, exactly as it should be.
