    RedGate - SQL DBA Bundle

    Quest - LiteSpeed

    Idera - SQL Safe Backup v 7.2

    If anyone is currently using any of the products, could you let me know what your experiences with them have been like please?

    I have used both Litespeed and SQLBackup and currently using Litespeed at the moment. If it were my decision I would go with Redgate for the following reasons

    • Licensing model and costs
    • Quality of their UK support
    • Features of their SQLBackup product

    Don't get me wrong, Litespeed is a great product as is Idera's offering but my preference is Redgate's SQLBackup.

    EMC Networker is indeed a great product but it's an Enterprise backup solution for all levels and not tailored for SQL Server, for instance SQLBackup and Litespeed both have object level recovery and their own Log Shipping plans which work extremely well.
