Seamless SQL Server Backup Encryption

A better solution for SQL Server Backup Encryption

Information security is critical to business continuity and this is equally important to both online backup sets and those that are held off site. Simple tampering with your backups may due untold harm to your business advantage.

For example, consider the notion of your CRM system backups being misplaced and then restored to without your knowledge or consent. Immediately your competitors will have access to your customer lists and all of the knowledge that they contain.

HyperBac for SQL Server seamlessly allows you encrypt your backups using AES 128, 192 or 256 bit encryption.

Integrating HyperBac's transparent backup encryption is simple. For example:

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

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

--Perform Compressed, Encrypted Full Backup Using HyperBac
BACKUP DATABASE DynamicsGP
TO DISK = 'C:\MSSQL\Backup\DynamicsGP_FullBackup.hbe'

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 encrypted using AES-256 bit certificate based encryption.
