SqlBak Utility

Key Features of SqlBak

• SqlBak is a cloud-based database backup and monitoring service designed to simplify disaster recovery for SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL environments.
• Traditional database backups often require complex scripts or manual intervention to ensure files are moved off-site.
• SqlBak solves this by automating the entire pipeline: it triggers the backup, compresses and encrypts the file, and immediately uploads it to a cloud storage provider such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, or OneDrive.
• The service installs a lightweight agent on the database server that communicates with the SqlBak dashboard.
• This allows administrators to manage backups for dozens of servers from a single web interface, rather than logging into each machine via Remote Desktop.
• It supports full, differential, and transaction log backups, allowing for point-in-time recovery.
• If a server goes down or a backup job fails, SqlBak sends instant alerts via email or Slack, ensuring that the administrator is aware of the vulnerability immediately.
• Beyond backup, the tool includes health monitoring features.
• It can track server disk space, CPU usage, and database availability.
• It also supports the automated "Restore" test, where it periodically attempts to restore a backup to a test server to verify that the files are not only present but functional.
• This "proof of life" for backups is a critical compliance feature for many IT departments.
