SqlBak
Hawthorne, New Jersey, United States
What it is
SqlBak automates database backups and provides a web service for managing backups from multiple servers. Its listed database support covers SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Azure SQL, Amazon RDS for SQL Server, and MongoDB. Backup destinations include cloud storage, FTP, SSH, and local or network folders. For SQL Server, listed tools include point-in-time recovery, full, differential, and transaction-log backups, automatic verification, compression, health monitoring, and one-click restore. The SqlBak app runs as a background service on Windows or Linux servers; Docker and Raspberry Pi installations are also described. SqlBak says backups are encrypted and sent directly from the server to the user's storage, while database credentials are encrypted and kept on the server. Plans include a free option at no cost for one server, two databases, and one month of backup history. Standard costs $6 a month per server, billed per server if starting now, and Professional costs $9 a month per server, billed per server if starting now. A 30-day trial includes Professional features and does not require a credit card to start.
