MS SQL 2008 Backup Software

Backup software for MSSQL 2008 receives a lot of attention from businesses of all sizes, as more and more companies migrate to newer versions of Microsoft software. Since MS SQL Server 2008 usually contains so much critical data, being able to perform hot backup and recovery of the database is of great importance, regardless of the field of activities.

Handy Backup provides two ways of backing up SQL Server 2008:

• Database backup plug-in allows backing up and restoring database tables through the use of ODBC connection. It is applicable to any ODBC-compatible DBMS, not only MS SQL 2008.
• MS SQL backup plug-in is designed specifically for MSSQL databases: it creates a much more accurate backup copy which contains not only tables, but also all procedures, views and other control elements.

This page describes MSSQL 2008 Server backup through the second approach, i.e. via MSSQL Backup plug-in. If you want to learn more about the general Database plug-in, please read FAQ about MSSQL backup via ODBC...
