Better SQL Server Backup Compression

A better solution for SQL Server Backup Compression

HyperBac for SQL Server works outside of your SQL Server process and simply intercepts backup and restore traffic being written or read by the database engine.

Because of this architecture, HyperBac for SQL Server is rapidly and simply installed, has a small operational footprint, requires no change management and delivers compression of up to 90% and backup performance improvement of up to 50% without impacting your database processes or scripts.

It’s as simple as matching the extension. For example, the following is a simple native backup command:

--Perform Full Backup Natively
BACKUP DATABASE DynamicsGP
TO DISK = 'C:\MSSQL\Backup\DynamicsGP_FullBackup.bak'

To make this a HyperBac backup, you need simply change the output file extension as follows.

--Perform Full Backup Using HyperBac
BACKUP DATABASE DynamicsGP
TO DISK = 'C:\MSSQL\Backup\DynamicsGP_FullBackup.zip'

The backup file is now compressed on-the-fly by up to 90%, the backup operation is up to 75% faster, and the backup is in a non-proprietary ZIP format.
