We have all bought software that was just so difficult to use that we gave up. This happens a lot with SQL backup software, because there are often so many options that people find it too difficult to navigate. So, instead of installing the software and setting it to backup the data, they forget about it or leave it sitting on the shelf, where it serves no purpose.
Being able to properly operate your SQL backup software is imperative if you want it to work correctly. The problem really is that a lot of the older packages are too complicated and far too expensive. Luckily, the software of today is cheaper, easier to use, and actually a lot more powerful than before. There is no excuse not to have your data backed up at all times.
Although you may think that your SQL server is completely safe and that all of your staff is properly trained in how to avoid getting viruses, you never know when your server will go down. It could be because of a malicious employee, an ex-employee who still has access to your data, a bored hacker, or even a natural disaster. You just never know when something will happen, and if you don't have your SQL backup running at all times, you might have no other way out.
Whether you have a powerful server with hundreds of users, or a small one that holds just a little data, it is just as important to have a backup that you can depend on. Once you set up your backup program, you won't have to do anything again until you need it. It will continue to run in the background, providing you the security you need, which will enable you to sleep at night, knowing your data is safe.
