1.2 Why Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server
Comprehensive recovery requires more than just data backup. Your Microsoft SQL Server
database contains tables, logs, and other components that structure the data. Using Acronis
Recovery for MS SQL Server, a cohesive and intuitive backup solution, is critical to ensure a
secure live database backup that can be quickly recovered.
Recovery is now made easy with automated system restore to point-of-failure. No need to
walk through menus to get your system back online. This one-step process will return your
database to the last known good state just before failure. Erroneous transactions will no
longer cost you minutes or hours in recovery.
This powerful product includes an intuitive wizard-driven GUI that guides you through the
scheduling process and reduces the possibility for errors. The Acronis Recovery for MS SQL
Server Assistant creates a Disaster Recovery Plan for your environment, delivering step-by-
step instructions for recovery. Anyone, whether an experienced DBA or not, can schedule
backup jobs and restore a system rapidly. Acronis even provides FTP capability for storing
your backup on any FTP server, worldwide.
