What's included
- Nothing new to install — backups run inside the agent already on the Windows server or PC. Choose the computer, add the sources and destinations, set the schedule, and it runs.
- Several sources and several destinations per job: folders and the databases of the SQL Server on that machine, copied in the same run to local folders, network shares and FTP or FTPS servers.
- Schedules in the machine's own local time — daily, weekly, monthly or at a fixed interval — with an optional catch-up run if the computer was off at the scheduled time, and a Run now button for the rest.
- The free space of every destination is checked before copying. A copy that will not fit fails straight away with a clear reason instead of dying half-way, and a destination below the minimum you set (in GB or in %) raises a warning.
- Alerts by e-mail when a backup fails, when it does not run on time, and when a destination is filling up. A destination that keeps failing while another one works is flagged too, so a missing offsite copy never goes unnoticed.
- Retention is built in: keep the last N copies and/or the last N days. It only ever removes files the module created, never the newest copy of a series and never anything else in the folder.
- Copies are checked once they land — the size at the destination, and RESTORE VERIFYONLY for SQL Server backups — and every run keeps a record per source and per destination, with sizes, durations and errors you can copy.
- Plain .zip files and standard SQL Server .bak files, so you restore with the tools you already use — no lock-in, no proprietary format.
- Credentials are handled with care: FTP, share and SQL passwords are stored encrypted, are never shown again, and the whole module is for administrators only.
Backups
Folders and SQL Server databases, to a NAS, a share or an FTP site — scheduled, verified and alerted.
