CAMBRIDGE, U.K., October 4, 2006 Red Gate Software is

releasing a low-cost version of its best-selling SQL Backup tool that makes

data protection for small businesses fast and simple.

The new edition, called SQL Backup Lite, will be available on the Red Gate

web site (www.red-gate.com) beginning

October 9 at an introductory price of $95 per server. A fully functional

version is available as a 14-day free trial download.

SQL Backup Lite provides an alternative to the slow, cumbersome native

features associated with SQL Server backups, allowing system administrators

to perform smaller, faster backups of their data. Based on testing and

customer experience, SQL Backup Lite is up to 10 times faster than native

SQL Server backup.

Small businesses can realize a big return on investment from saving backup

time and reducing data storage costs, says James Moore, SQL Backup

developer. SQL Backup Lite provides low-cost, no-worry backup functionality

that enables small businesses to concentrate on work that brings money

through the door.

Based on my testing, I'm very impressed with this product, says Jasper

Smith, a SQL Server Most Valued Professional. Backup speed and compression

are very good and it offers excellent value for money for SQL shops that

want to reduce their storage costs.
