“Oh, no thanks, Boss. I’d much rather sit here all summer and keep an eye on our SQL Server backups than go to the beach or ride my bike.” Said nobody. Ever. We recently published a blog about having a panic-free summer by getting your monitoring and alarm ducks in a row. But backup/recovery is another big thing that can keep you chained to your desk. We published a short video case study about Jenkon Corporation , a company that hosts, supports and provides applications for web-based direct selling businesses. The DBAs at Jenkon are responsible not only for backups of their own SQL databases, but also for backing up the databases of companies like Avon , Unilever , The Body Shop and Tupperware . A good engineer could spend all summer minding those backups and never get out of the office, but Jenkon’s DBAs have an answer for backup that still lets them work on their tan. Jenkon is using LiteSpeed for SQL Server to back up and recover their SQL databases and to move them among servers in their data center. It’s faster, more care-free data protection than they anticipated: “Every day we perform tons of backups and restores to different environments. Many of our databases are huge, and a couple of them are more than a terabyte. Before LiteSpeed came along, moving backups from one location to another took about nine hours. Now with LiteSpeed, it takes 45 minutes.” – Jeff Bobadilla, Sr. Engineer, Jenkon (Please visit the site to view this video) I’d take that 85 percent savings, wouldn’t you? LiteSpeed does all the heavy lifting so that Jenkon’s DBAs can get that database move off their minds seven hours sooner than before. So if you’re babysitting a backup job in the next few weeks while staring out your office window at a sunset, take three minutes to watch the video case study on Jenkon and see how LiteSpeed for SQL Server helps them with backup and recovery. Maybe it can help you kick the summertime blues. Start Free Trial Here
