“I just installed and backed up our largest database - it went from 2.06 GB to 1.31 GB - a 36% savings!”
-- SQL safe User,
“This 2008 database takes about six hours to backup using native SQL backup; 43m02s with SQL safe to the same (network) location is quite an improvement!
I'm impressed:
Database size: 573,551.6 MB
Uncompressed: 441,139.1 MB
Compressed: 87,220.5 MB
Compression Ratio: 80.23%”

“I have installed SQL safe and backed up a small database (4.9 GB) which normally takes up 570 MB space on local disk, now it went to 82 MB - very nice. The amount of time to complete the backup also went from 4 minutes to 1 minute!”
-- SQL safe User,
“I just did a backup of one of our larger production databases. The 194 GB database compressed to 67 GB with SQL safe 5.0. With SQL safe 6.0 it went down to 45 GB. The backup time also went from 1 hour and 48 minutes down to 1 hour and 17 minutes.”
-- SQL safe User,
“With SQL safe 6.0, the backup time went from 1.5 hours to .5 hours! I also saved about 5 GB of backup disk as well!”
-- SQL safe User,
“SQL safe 6.0 really impressed me. We were using a competing product, but SQL safe was able to compress both substantially smaller and faster.”
-- SQL safe User,
“The difference between 89.34% and 92.25% compression may not sound like much, but in my case that extra 2.91% that I get with SQL safe 6.0 saves me 16 GB per backup.”
-- SQL safe User,
“I did a test of SQL safe 6.0 and compared it to the current version we have on our production system. The results are:
Compression: Old = 75%, New = 81%
Time: Old = 3:45:00, New 1:48:00
Database size: 268 GB
Impressive gains!”
-- SQL safe user,
“We use a high percentage of incompressible images in our database and I thought that compressing a backup would provide little benefit. I was pleasantly suprised to find that SQL safe 6.0 halved the size of my backup.”
-- SQL safe User,
“The compression in SQL safe 6.0 is highly impressive. We are placing an order.”
-- SQL safe User,
“We use a 3rd party competitive product to SQL safe. However, after installing SQL safe 6.0 and watching its IntelliCompress2 adjust to my production server's environment and produce a far smaller and faster database backup than I had seen before; I am impressed.”
-- SQL safe User,
“At SalesForce, SQL Server plays a crucial role in our business, so we must keep diligent backups and be prepared to restore a database in an instant. With SQL safe, not only do we get an excellent backup and recovery solution that can be implemented effectively across our enterprise, we also keep costs down by saving a lot of disk space and with Idera's simple pricing structure. Furthermore, because SQL safe runs outside of SQL Server's address space, it never affects the performance of our SQL Server environment.”
-- SQL Server DBA, SalesForce
“SQL safe gives us the ability to backup and restore in at least ½ the time of manual SQL Server backups. This space and time savings allows us to perform month-end testing on the same day without impacting our production environment. We also have SQLschedule and SQL compliance manager from Idera – all of which are easy to use and save us so much time!”
-- Server Support Specialist, Cookie Lee Inc.
“We were running out of disk space on our backup drive. At times, backups would fail because of a lack of disk space. At first, adding bigger drives was seriously considered. We downloaded a demo copy of SQL safe and tried it. Wow! We had found our answer to our problem. The few times I have had to contact the support staff, the response time was very quick (most of the time in a few minutes). The staff was very patient and always had the problem resolved in no time at all. I highly recommend Idera’s products.”
-- Database Administrator, Monitronics International
“Now that we have SQL safe, full backup time on one of our servers is down from 100+ hours to 30 hours or less. This is an incredible time considering the amount of data we're backing up!”
-- Data/System Architect, Treo Solutions
“SQL safe provides us with a solid backup solution with encryption and compression surpassing the native tools.”
-- IT Analyst II, Sacramento County District Attorney
“SQL safe has saved us a tremendous amount of money, space, and time! It's very easy to use and backing up and restoring a database is very easy. SQL safe is a very good tool and the price is very reasonable. Idera's customer service is also superb, I have always had our issues resolved within in a matter of hours.”
-- Database Administrator, Brierley & Partners
