Hot Database Backup

Hot database backup software exploits special "hot backup" technology for backing up databases: it can back up data even if it is in active use or being updated. This is especially useful for small/medium business backup, where databases are used by many users simultaneously. The use of software capable of hot backup and recovery doesn’t require you to stop the server for backup purposes, thus saving you time and money.
