Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:40:52 GMT

Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server is a cutting-edge, reliable, and cost-effective backup and recovery tool for MS SQL databases. With this comprehensive solution, you can restore your databases in case of any unforeseen event. Backing up only data in your databases is not enough, since they include tables, logs and other components that structure the data. Acronis provides you with a smart utility allowing for live backups of all database components as well as data proper.

With Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server, you can create a Disaster Recovery Plan, which will provide you with step-by-step instructions on system recovery. The technology is so easy that even non-DBAs can successfully apply it to recover lost databases.

Besides, Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server Assistant will take you through all the tasks, which will even facilitate your work. Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server streamlines and reduces manual administrative work with its intuitive wizard-driven GUI.

Acronis’ new database imaging technology eliminates backup disk space requirements by up to 96%. The program includes all the necessary techniques to customize the processes, minimizing time for maintenance and backup creation and thus achieving maximum return from the software and equipment.

Acronis’ award-winning technology provides superior image file optimization. Customizable compression rates reduce the amount of data to store and transfer, leading to direct cost savings in storage and labor.

One-step Recovery and Automated Recovery to the Point-of-Failure makes recovery as fast as possible helping an organization to meet superior Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Rolling Snapshot can recover near instantaneously in case of human error or logical data corruption.

You can protect your company's most valuable data with industry-standard strong encryption. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is available with three key lengths – 128, 192 and 256 bits to balance performance and protection as desired. The Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server Management Console automatically detects all database servers on the network. The servers are displayed clearly with status information, making it easy to manage enterprise-wide.

With Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server, you get a number of advantages:

You can configure your backup strategy in seconds by importing a preexisting Microsoft SQL Server Maintenance Plan. Automatically created snapshots enable the database to be recovered in seconds – in cases of data corruption or human error – by simply discarding changes (for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition only).

You can create backups up to 10 times smaller than the original uncompressed format. Three compression levels let you optimize for faster performance, smaller size, or a balance of both.

With Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server, you can also control bandwidth usage to keep the backup process transparent to network users; configure notification via e-mail and SNMP; perform backup while the database is online to secure 24/7 availability.

Every restore scenario can be executed in one step. There is no need to manually restore from different archives keeping in mind the database state. You are allowed to migrate to another Microsoft SQL Server version by simply restoring the database to a newer Microsoft SQL Server Installation; schedule the complete backup strategy, including Full, Differential and backup of Transaction Logs in one action.

Supported Microsoft SQL Server versions include Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 (SP4+), Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (SP3a+, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine Release A, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express.
