Though a minor version update, SQL Backup Master v8.1 introduces several important—and frequently requested—features. Let’s dive in!
First, you can now run database integrity checks before each backup. This option is available in the Database Options tab of the backup job settings window. When enabled, it executes DBCC CHECKDB for each database in the backup job. If an integrity check fails, errors are logged and you can optionally halt the backup job.
We’ve also updated the batch database restore feature to let you specify a restore directory, giving you control over where the restored database files will reside.
The Tools area of the client UI now includes an option to launch PowerShell with the Cmdlet module loaded and ready to use. See our SQL Backup Master PowerShell Cmdlets article for details.
Finally, we’ve improved the performance of Dropbox and Azure Blob Storage uploads.
