Backup, restore, and verify

Backup, restore, and verify – the three main features of any good backup strategy – are simple with SQL Backup Pro. It takes fast, small, secure SQL Server database backups, based on whatever schedule you set. Once you've made your backups, it can check they're free from corruption with optional CHECKSUM and RESTORE VERIFYONLY steps. With the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard, you can also set up automatic verification with the gold-standard integrity check, DBCC CHECKDB, for complete confidence that your backup is error-free. With automated backup verification, you'll gain peace of mind, and save time, hassle, and money.
