SQL Server Backup Compression Shootout

HyperBac for SQL Server recently featured in the April edition of SQL Server Magazine in an article titled ‘SQL Server Backup Compression Shootout’. The article tested three well known SQL Server backup products including HyperBac against one another with HyperBac coming out in the lead with a 4 out of 5 star rating.

The summary of HyperBac from the article is below:

HyperBac for SQL Server
Pros: Excellent integration with SQL Server; no updating of SQL Server Agent jobs or T-SQL scripts; simple installation; ZIP functionality; compression of bcp, DTS, and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) files to disk; fastest restore of products compared Cons: No GUI-based backup tools
Rating: 4 stars
Price: $699 per server
Recommendation: HyperBac for SQL Server matches the way many DBAs like to work and integrates with SQL Server seamlessly out of the box. Coupled with innovative features such as backing up to a .zip file and the ability to compress bcp, DTS, and SSIS streams to and from files, HyperBac for SQL Server is a clear winner.
