SCHEDULE SQL BACKUPS

SQL Backup Master's simple (yet robust) scheduler allows you trigger full, differential, and transaction log backups at periodic intervals. A set of predefined backup plans makes getting started a breeze.

Automated scheduling is the cornerstone of reliable SQL Server backup strategy—manually running backups is error-prone, inconsistent, and simply doesn't scale. SQL Backup Master's integrated scheduler allows you to configure complex backup schedules with just a few clicks, eliminating the need to create and manage Windows Task Scheduler entries or SQL Server Agent jobs. You can schedule full backups to run weekly, differential backups to run daily, and transaction log backups to run hourly, all within a single backup job configuration. The scheduler understands the dependencies between backup types and ensures they execute in the correct order.

The software includes predefined backup plans that implement best-practice schedules for common scenarios, making it easy for less experienced administrators to establish effective backup routines immediately. For advanced users, the scheduler supports flexible scheduling options including specific days of the week, specific times of day, and interval-based scheduling. SQL Backup Master runs as a Windows service, ensuring that scheduled backups execute reliably even when no users are logged into the server, and the scheduler automatically accounts for daylight saving time changes and other calendar complexities that can cause issues with manual scheduling approaches.
