Feature Overview

Learn more about SQL database backup using StoreGrid

StoreGrid's comprehensive approach to backup management now allows you to execute your SQL Server backups & restores from one intuitive interface.

Vembu StoreGrid supports SQL Server backups for SQL Server 2000 and all higher versions. StoreGrid supports MSSQL Server 2008 backups from v2.4 and above.

You can choose between a Basic (free) & an Advanced SQL Server Plug-in. The Basic Plugin uses the OSQL utility to dump the database(s) and thereafter uploads the locally dumped file to the backup server. The Advanced SQL Server plugin uses the VDI API to backup database(s) before uploading them to the backup server.

Features in the Advanced plug-in include:

• Optimal use of dump files for local storage: the dump file is compressed and automatically purged after use.
• Straight through Restore of SQL Server backup (as opposed to a 2 step process in Basic plug-in)
• Comprehensive Backup & Restore report of SQL Server backup is available
• Detailed SQL Server Backup & Restore email reports available

Please note that the Basic plug-in is integrated with the product and is available at no additional cost.
