SQL Backup Master Help

WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) allows SQL Backup Master to store database backups on remote servers that support the WebDAV protocol, including cloud storage services like Nextcloud, ownCloud, and Koofr.

 

Server Configuration

 
Server

 
Enter the full WebDAV URL provided by your service provider. This typically starts with https:// and includes the path to your WebDAV endpoint.

 
Example: https://app.koofr.net/dav/Koofr

 
Username

 
Your WebDAV account username or email address used to authenticate with the server.

 
Password

 
The password associated with your WebDAV account. Some services may require app-specific passwords instead of your regular account password.

 
Timeout

 
The maximum time in seconds to wait for server responses. Default is 300 seconds. Increase this value if you experience timeout errors with large backups or slow connections.

 

Common Settings

 
Remote Directory

 
The folder path on the WebDAV server where backups will be stored. Leave blank to use the root directory. If the specified directory doesn't exist, SQL Backup Master will create it automatically.

Emergency Destination

 
Check this box to use this destination only when all other configured destinations fail. This provides a fallback option for critical backup scenarios.

 
Enabled Backup Types

 
Select which SQL Server backup types this destination should accept:

•Full - Complete database backups

•Differential - Changes since the last full backup

•Transaction Log - Transaction log backups for point-in-time recovery

 
Delete Backups Older Than
 

Automatically remove old backup files after the specified number of days and hours. Set to 0 to keep backups indefinitely. This helps manage storage space on your WebDAV server.

 

Advanced Settings

 
Use Windows Authentication

 
Enable this option if your WebDAV server supports Windows integrated authentication (NTLM/Kerberos) instead of basic authentication.

 

Accept All TLS/SSL Certificates

 
Check this box to bypass SSL certificate validation. Only use this option for testing or with self-signed certificates in trusted environments. Not recommended for production use.

 
Testing Your Configuration

 
Click the Test button to verify your WebDAV settings. SQL Backup Master will attempt to connect to the server, authenticate with your credentials, and create a test file in the specified directory. A successful test confirms that your configuration is correct and the server is accessible.
