    interesting, my knee jerk reaction is That I would still script out for disaster recovery, an d keep performing native backup and disaster recovery for SQL server regardless of the high level sales literature that implies it's the best solution since sliced bread.

    I read the Dell corporate fluff at these two links:

    http://www.appassure.com/server-backup-replication-and-recovery/

    http://www.appassure.com/downloads/Dell_AppAssure_Specsheet.pdf

    and it appears to be a server solution that happens to try to take care of SQL

    Recovery Assure™

    Detects the presence of Microsoft Exchange and SQL and its

    respective databases and log files, then carries out a nightly test to

    confirm that database application backups are fully recoverable. If any

    backup fails this test, a notification is automatically sent so you can

    resolve the problem immediately

    and version support:

    SQL Server support

    • MS SQL Server 2012, 2008 R2, 2008,2005

    • MS SQL clusters based on Microsoft Cluster Server
