SQLServer Data Backup

Accidents happen all the time, so creating backups of important data is a must, not just for files and folders on your computer, but also for database content. As its name implies, SQLServer Data Backup helps you create locally stored backups for databases in SQL Server, thus making sure that no data is lost should disaster strike.

When running SQLServer Data Backup, the first thing you need to do is go through the connection configuration. At this point, you must specify the server, the login credentials (username and password) and the name of the database. You can add as many connections as you want and create backups for each database. It is advisable that you test the connections before saving the configurations.

Prior to starting a new backup for database contents, you should also navigate to the Settings area of SQLServer Data Backup to choose the output directory where the backup files will be saved. Here, you can also configure the application to start with Windows or automatically minimize to the system tray to run in the background. In other words, SQLServer Data Backup can perform a backup without interfering with your work.

At every launch, SQLServer Data Backup displays information about the latest backup. You can view how many days ago the backup was performed and initiate a new backup with the click of a button. During the backup, the application displays the elapsed time so that you know how much time it takes for it to finish its job.

SQLServer Data Backup is a simple application but for users of SQL Server it might be handy to have around. It enables them to create data backups without too much hassle. The only “impediment” is entering the correct credentials and connection parameters. It is an application worth trying is you are a SQL Server user.
