Wednesday, July 21st, 2010How to Backup SQL Server Online
Monday, July 12th, 2010
If your company is running Microsoft SQL Server as its database server, and you’d like to get the databases backed-up online, without downtime, IBackup has the solution. Using existing capabilities of SQL Server’s API, and combining it with IBackup’s online backup scheduling software, you can have your database backups performed quickly, regularly, and reliably.
IBackup supports both full and transaction log style backups, so you’re in control of how backups are performed. In addition, when you set-up the backup schedule, you can be notified of the success or any failures of the backup.
This month only, you can get double the storage space when you sign-up, so a 35GB Enhanced Backup Plan, which supports SQL Server backups, now gives you 70GB of space, for $34.95 per month.
To get started, sign-up for IBackup, then download the Advanced Backup Plug-in.
Jungle Disk 3.1 with Public File Sharing
Friday, July 9th, 2010
The newest beta release of Jungle Disk, version 3.1, now includes public online disk sharing. Now, you can create new online disks and make them public, giving you the ability to share the data using a conventional URL.
This allows users to share files with others who many not necessarily be Jungle Disk users.
Since Jungle Disk uses Amazon S3 to store the data, public data accessed by external users will be charged to the creator’s account. Selecting Rackspace to host the files will not incur bandwidth charges, as Rackspace only charges for data stored, not bandwidth used.
Scott Gibson from Jungle Disk adds,
this feature is not designed to be leveraged as a CDN service. We do have limits in place to prevent excessive downloads and abusing the service.
Additional features added to beta release 3.1 includes the ability to change sub-account passwords and to be able to search through the list of servers (versus scrolling through them all).
Read our Jungle Disk review or download Jungle Disk now and try these features out for yourself.
