Testimonials

Lynn Armbruster:
"Thank you. I found Maestro easy to use and so far a great tool".

Alex Torin:
"Several months ago I downloaded the trial versions of several Microsoft SQL administration tools that I was able to find using google. I had considerable trouble with most of them crashing... but using your product I was able to isolate and solve the problems I was having. I decided to add it to my toolkit and have recommended it to a few others".

Backup Database

The backup and restore components of Microsoft SQL Server allow you to create a copy of a database. This copy (called backup) is stored in a location protected from the potential failures of the server running the instance of SQL Server. If the server running the instance of SQL Server fails, or if the database is somehow damaged, the backup copy can be used to recreate, or restore, the database. As is well known implementing a well-planned backup and restore strategy protects databases against data loss due to damage caused by a variety of failures.

Backup Database tool allows you create the various types of data and differential backups. Use buttons on the top of the window to select the type of backup you want to perform on the specified database.

To find some explanation for the tools's parts and their elements, use Backup options.
