19:20 - 19:40 Compressing your SQL Server with Hyperbac Online - Simon Sabin
Hyperbac's new product "Hyperbac Online" takes compression with SQL Server to the next level. This doesn't just allow you to compress your backups but also your whole database. Whilst this provides great storage savings it also enables you to restore your 100Gb production database files to another server that has a fraction of the space. This isn't possible even in SQL 2008 Enterprise edition.
We will be demonstrating Hyperbac Online and addressing all your questions around stability, durability and performance.
