BACK UP SQL TO WEBDAV

Back up your SQL Server databases to remote servers using WebDAV protocol.

WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) provides a standardized HTTP-based protocol for managing files on remote servers, offering a versatile option for SQL Server database backups. SQL Backup Master's WebDAV support allows you to store backups on a wide variety of servers and services that implement the WebDAV protocol, including many NAS devices, file servers running IIS or Apache, and certain cloud storage providers. WebDAV operates over standard HTTP/HTTPS ports, making it particularly useful in network environments where traditional file sharing protocols might be blocked by firewalls.

The advantage of WebDAV for SQL Server backups lies in its broad compatibility and ease of configuration. Many organizations already have WebDAV-enabled file servers as part of their infrastructure, and SQL Backup Master can leverage these existing resources without requiring additional software or services. The protocol supports authentication methods ranging from basic HTTP authentication to more secure token-based approaches, and when used over HTTPS, provides encrypted transfer of your database backups. For IT departments seeking a standards-based backup solution that works across diverse infrastructure, WebDAV offers an excellent balance of flexibility and compatibility.
