Cloud Backup for SQL Server

Back up Microsoft SQL Server to the cloud storage of your choice

MSP360™ Backup for MS SQL Server is a simple, cost-effective and reliable solution for backing up Microsoft SQL Server to different cloud storage services, such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud etc.

It ensures security of your MS SQL Server backups by encrypting your data before sending it to the cloud, providing ransomware protection, allowing you to use multiple cloud storage destinations as well as performing Microsoft SQL Server backup to the local storage, external or network drive.

You can see for yourself if MSP360™ Backup for MS SQL Server meets your needs after downloading a 15-day fully functional free trial version of the software.

Backups move directly from servers and desktop computers to your own cloud storage, fully-encrypted at the source, in transit, and in your target storage.

How It Works

Imaged-Based and MS SQL Server Backup:

Block-level volume snapshots are taken and sent directly to the cloud, allowing dissimilar hardware or virtual machines restores.

Backs up all or selected volumes
Doesn't require space on the local drive — backup server to the cloud directly
Reduce the amount of uploaded data and accelerate full backup creation with Synthetic Full Backup
Full and differential backup of MS SQL Server
Transaction log backup
Predefined backup templates

Main Features

Microsoft SQL Server Backup

MSP360™ Backup provides cloud backup and restore capabilities for Microsoft SQL Server databases allowing to run full, differential or transaction log backup.

Image-Based Backup

Block-level volume snapshots are taken and sent directly to the cloud, allowing dissimilar hardware or virtual machines restores.

Restore to the Cloud VM

MSP360™ Backup allows to deploy Windows Server image from a backup copy image as an Amazon EC2 or Azure VM instance and get your physical or virtual server up and running in the cloud with a few simple steps.

Synthetic Full Backup

Reduce the amount of uploaded data and accelerate full backup creation by reusing the existing data stored in the cloud.

256-bit AES Encryption

Encrypt backups with up to 256-bit strong keys on the source side. All data sent to the cloud is also encrypted using the SSL protocols to protect while it is in transit.

Compression

Reduce data overhead, decrease storage costs, aid bandwidth and accelerate Windows Server backup completion with optional compression.

Cloud and Local Backup

Back up Windows Server to the cloud storage of your choice or set up local backup if you want to send only a subset of your data to the cloud and keep the rest on your local backup storage.

Block-Level Backup

Back up only modified or new portions of files to add them to existing online data pool.

Scheduling and Real-Time Backup

Set up hourly, daily, weekly, monthly backups or specify your own schedule. Real-time backup allows to back up files and folders on Windows Server on change or creation.

Command Line Interface

Get backup plan statistics programmatically and use the Command Line Interface to integrate Windows Server backup with your own routines.

Multiple Cloud Storage Support

Choose one of the supported public cloud storage, including: Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Windows Azure, Rackspace, OpenStack, Google Storage, SoftLayer and others.

Network Locations Backup

Back up your network locations including network shares, NAS devices, mapped drives, etc.

Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Back up data from one cloud storage location to another. Use multiple cloud storage destinations to keep your cloud data backups.

Cloud-to-Local Backup

Automate backup of the cloud data to local storage, external or network drive.

Email Notifications

Set up customizable email notification feature to track each run of your backup and restore plans remotely.

Retention Policies

Set up retention options to enable automated deletion of outdated data from your storage. Keep only actual versions of your backups.

What Our Customers Say?

"My vetting of the securities came out as full TNO, so it passes all of the "Trust No One" tests. They have their encrypting things absolutely correctly."

Steve Gibson
"Security Now" TWiT Show

"As a software developer, regular nightly backups of my development workstation are essential. CloudBerry Backup made this critical task easy to setup to ensure all my files are backed up to my Azure cloud storage space. And on more than one occasion, CloudBerry Backup has saved the day by allowing me to easily restore a file from backup and choose which version of the file to restore. I would highly recommend CloudBerry Backup to anyone in a similar situation."

Rob Ripley
Echelon, a division of Adventist University of Health Sciences

"A week or so ago, before I had added CloudBerry to the list of products I was evaluating for a client of mine, I was lamenting to my wife that cloud backup products were not yet great and were still way too expensive. But just wait I said, in a couple of years things will have really changed, and we'll be able to do backups easily and cheaply. Well, I guess I should have said "a couple of weeks" instead of "a couple of years", because CloudBerry was the backup solution I had in mind."

Harry McIntosh

"First off, I liked the product so much I bought it before the trial was over. I use it to backup a mission critical database file twice a day to both Google and Amazon Cloud storage. I’m also using the real time backup feature with a local disk. I was testing several similar products on Server 2008 and 2012. CloudBerry was the hands down winner."

Jeff Grimm

"I would prefer to use CloudBerry for both as it is a better written application and some other backup tools have the very real potential to lose data irrecoverably when trying to restore. I lost 100GB which took a lot of upload time just because the interface of other backup tool is confusing. As far as I can tell CloudBerry has no such risk and it is just a better product."

Ian Spencer

"To efficiently back up your data to S3, one of the best options is CloudBerry Online Backup."

MakeUseOf
http://www.makeuseof.com/

"I am happy with the backup so far, I have a ton of data on my Glacier backup being a Graphic Artist (350GB). I was using CrashPlanPro at about $8/mo, so this should reduce me to about half that, so I am excited."

Cris Firman

"CloudBerry Backup Desktop is definitely designed for businesses. Most individual users just aren’t going to be using the cloud services the software supports. That said, this tool is simple enough to use that individuals at a business or the manager of a particular group can set up and manage it without needing the IT department to do much of anything, but give the OK."

Seth Colaner
http://hothardware.com/

"I have purchased the Desktop version of Backup, and it seems to be working very well. I have used compression, and that may have increased the speed dramatically. I am impressed with the product, and appreciate all the help you have given me."

Chet Hammann

"I am using it to encrypt and backup the files from my desktop (~35Gb) to Glacier. So far it seems like an excellent product."

Jason Quinn
