More information about SQL HyperBac

Built on the original HyperBac  technology, SQL HyperBac is an industry–proven compression and encryption tool for SQL Server backups. It offers up to 95% compression, 256–bit AES encryption, and the option to back up to a range of file formats, including .zip. It even supports compression for data imported or exported with BCP, DTS, and SSIS.

SQL HyperBac runs as a Windows Service, intercepting read/write requests whenever you take a backup or run a restore. Because it works outside SQL Server, there's no need to modify or configure your servers. No special syntax and no extended stored procedures are needed to use SQL HyperBac – it works directly with standard T–SQL BACKUP and RESTORE commands, eliminating the need to alter your backup routines. With no additional configuration required, you're ready to start compressing and encrypting backups in minutes.

The easiest way to see how SQL HyperBac can help you is to try it out. You can download a free, 14-day trial of SQL HyperBac and take advantage of full support throughout your evaluation period with a dedicated team available for any questions.

High-performance  compression

SQL HyperBac  offers two levels of compression. By backing up to .zip or .hbc files, you can  compress your backups by up to 95%. When you need to save time or reduce CPU  usage on your backups, use the .hbc2 format.

Silent compression

SQL HyperBac  does not require any additional changes to your existing backup techniques in  order for you to compress and encrypt your backups. Simply specify the required  file format for your operations in your existing native T-SQL scripts or maintenance  plans, and SQL HyperBac will silently detect the operations and file format  needed to apply the appropriate action.

Secure encryption

SQL HyperBac  offers secure 128-, 192- and 256-bit AES encryption to prevent unauthorized  access to your backups.

Zero-touch deployment.

SQL HyperBac  is installed at the OS level, so no hooks into your SQL Server instances or  extended stored procedures are required.

Seamless integration  with native maintenance plans

SQL HyperBac  is installed at the OS level and interacts with your backups as they are  written to disk. This means you can configure its settings once and continue  with your backup routines as normal. No command substitution is needed, as you  continue to use your existing backup techniques: T-SQL, SQL Enterprise Manager,  SQL Server Management Studio, BCP or DTS.

Back up to .zip files  for more flexibility on restore

SQL HyperBac  offers a range of file formats for your backups, including .zip, for a  straightforward and flexible restore process. This brings independence from  proprietary file formats, as you're able to restore the zipped backup file to  any server and unpack it there, even if you don't have SQL HyperBac licensed on  that server.

SQL HyperBac can also use its own .hbc, .hbc2  and .hbe file extensions to store and protect your data, or be configured to  recognise other extensions, such as .trc for trace files.

SQL HyperBac  supports SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008 on the following platforms:

• Windows 2000

• Windows XP

• Windows Vista (32- and 64-bit)

• Windows Server 2003

• Windows Server 2008

• Windows Server 2008 R2

Compress multiple data types

In addition  to SQL Server backups, SQL HyperBac can compress the output from export/import  operations, including BCP, SSIS and DTS. SQL HyperBac can also compress trace  file information if you need to meet SOX compliance requirements more efficiently.
