Idera Launches Free Three Tools for SQL Server DBAs and IT Administrators

Idera,
Inc. provider of application and server management solutions,
announced three new free tools for both SQL Server DBAs and IT
administrators.

Server
Backup Free delivers a free copy of their high performance server
backup product. SQL
backup status reporter and SQL
permissions extractor allows DBAs to ensure that databases have
been backed up and copy permissions across servers. All of these
tools are designed to help administrators better manage the growing
number of servers in the enterprise.

The Server Backup Free is a copy
of the Server Backup Enterprise software, but for a single server. IT
departments can experience disk-based backup for Windows and Linux
Servers as well as VMware, Xen and Hyper-V without a commitment. For
companies with growing server environments, the enterprise solution
delivers performance at a price point that can scale to backup
servers without breaking the bank.

Server Backup Free features include:

• Backup physical and virtual servers in
  minutes

• Backup to any disk-based storage –
  second hard disk, NAS, SAN, etc.

• Restore files in seconds with Disk Safe
  technology

• Download and go in minutes with
  installation

The SQL backup status reporter
allows DBAs to view a graphical representation of backups across
their SQL Server environment. Knowing whether a working backup is
available when needed. SQL safe then goes further to help companies
with the consistent running of the fastest and most compressed
backups.

SQL backup status reporter features
include:

• Identify databases that have not had
  backups

• View backup history including the
  backup date and type

• Grid view for easy sorting and
  navigation

• Identify full and differential backups
  for one or many databases

The SQL permissions extractor
enables DBAs to copy and reassign permissions from one server to
another without having to write lines of script. Idera’s SQL secure
completes the process and allows you to harden security with
pre-defined and customizable policy templates to ensure the SQL
Server environment is safe.

SQL permissions extractor features
include:

• Generate T-SQL scripts for copying of
  user permissions to another server

• Edit, save, and execute permissions
  scripts

• Include object level permissions for
  selected databases

"Idera has made a commitment to
providing free tools and solutions that help both IT and database
administrators better manage their servers," said Rick
Pleczko, president and CEO, Idera. "It’s our way of paying
back the success that the community has helped us achieve."
