Cloudberry Backup for MS SQL works flawlessly!!

We've moved most of our production servers to AWS EC2 and needed an easy/reliable way to backup SQL and the volumes. We're already creating snapshots nightly for each instance using a script, but we needed a method to backup MS SQL and a good way to retain files for a longer period of time that snapshots didn't provide.

Cloudberry Backup for MS SQL takes care of both. We are now able to backup our MS SQL database during work hours. I can specify different backup schedules for Full, Differential and Logs. I've setup notifications so if there is a problem with the backup I know immediately.

For image backups I can setup an initial image backup of the instance including all of the volumes. After the initial backup only changed blocks are backed up saving me money on storage fees. If my instance is unavailable and I need to restore the latest state I can pull up Cloudberry from another instance and restore the lastest state to a new EC2 instance.

This product works flawlessly. Very impressed!!!!
