The SQLsafe version 4.5 has been launched recently by Idera, a leading provider of management and compliance solutions for Microsoft SQL Server environments. The new version speeds SQL Server database restores with new object-level recovery functionality that enables database administrators to restore individual tables instead of entire databases, dramatically reducing database restore times and downtime.

Roy Forkner, DBA, Winstead, said: “The new Object Level Recovery features in SQLsafe version 4.5 enabled me to quickly restore specific tables instead of the entire database. Besides being very easy to do, it saved a lot of time. If you need a quick and reliable backup product, I highly recommend SQLsafe.”

In addition, Mike Dominick, DBA, Big Hammer Data, stated: “SQLsafe proved to be a very impressive and fast backup solution for us during our recent Itanium server migration. The new version of SQLsafe allowed us to backup 175GB in 30 minutes and do a full database restore in less than 15 minutes – running over the network. Everyone on my team was shocked when I turned the new databases over so quickly for final configuration and testing.”

The new solution brings a high-performance backup and recovery solution that reduces database backup times by up to 50% over native backups and saves disk space by compressing data by up to 95%. SQLsafe also offers “hands-free' automated backup of multiple SQL Servers, centralized monitoring and management of all backup jobs enterprise-wide, and five levels of encryption to help database administrators ensure compliance with corporate data security and backup policies.

Among the new features we can find:

* Full Support for 64-bit Environments: All components of SQLsafe can now be run on 32-bit or 64-bit hardware, in both homogenous and mixed environments.
* Support for Microsoft Vista: The SQLsafe Management Console provides centralized management, monitoring & control of all SQL Server backups enterprise-wide. It can now be deployed on a computer running the Microsoft Vista operating system.
