SQLBackupAndFTP: A powerful application that lets you run scheduled backups of SQL Server or SQL Server Express databases

SQLBackupAndFTP is a feature-rich piece of software that lets you easily schedule backup jobs of SQL Server or SQL Server Express databases. It can perform various types of backups – full, differential or transaction log, it can handle both file and folder backup tasks, plus it archives and encrypts the backups to ensure their security.

You can use the application to store your backups on an FTP server, in the cloud (various popular services are supported) or on a network. Among the configuration options, SQLBackupAndFTP can be set to automatically remove old backups, send email notifications to alert you if a backup task managed to complete successfully or not. Advanced users can use script backups to backup hosted or remote databases.

SQL Server Express 2005 and 2008 edition lack default backup tools, so this application is a great solution to automate daily backup tasks for databases using the above-mentioned data management systems.

While the program automatically scans your network to detect databases, you can also manually enter the login credentials to connect a database. Users can send the backups to local/network folders, cloud services like OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive as well as FTP servers. Furthermore, the tool lets you send backups to multiple destinations.
