Key Features of SQL Server Backup in BDRShield
Image-Level Backup
Agentless, application-aware backup of the entire VM or physical server running Microsoft SQL Server with application-consistent processing.

Selectively configure backups for specific SQL Server databases without backing up the entire machine for optimized storage usage.
Application-Consistent Backup
Ensures SQL Server application is in a stable state during snapshot creation with automatic transaction log truncation.
Your Cloud Storage
Store your SQL Server backup data flexibly on your own cloud storage like S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, MinIO, Wasabi.
Local Storage
Store your SQL Server data on NAS/SAN, or deduplication devices.
Full & Incremental Backups
Perform initial full backups followed by incremental backups that capture only changed blocks, reducing backup time and storage.
Automated Backups
