QUMBU backup and maintenance tool for Microsoft SQL Server
According to Plan
Databases are the tech heart of the enterprise. If they stop beating, the entire work process usually grinds to a standstill, which is why it is so important constantly to maintain and secure your databases. I took a look at how this can be done with QUMBU [1] – new software by WSW Software for creating backups and maintaining the SQL Server database management system (Table 1) – and discovered that the developers have put a great deal of thought into ease of use and a planned approach. In the lab, I checked whether the software can measure up to the claim that these processes can be organized in an effortless and secure way.
