Dell LiteSpeed
High-speed SQL Server backup, compression
and restore

Challenges

Raw data exceeds available storage space

Improper use and management of differential backups
Too many backup jobs and maintenance plans
Backups impacting database applications
Not testing all restore scenarios

LiteSpeed Architecture

User Interface

Faster and smaller backups with

LiteSpeeds Fast Compression
Determining the best differential backup schedule is
challenging and poses risks for restore time objectives
(RTOs)
Needing more than one backup for a restore operation
is a management challenge
Backup retention on disk is more difficult
Smart Cleanup technology

Easy backup job management

with backup templates
Configuring hundreds or thousands of
backup jobs
Backup templates to ease the pain

Maintenance Plan Designer

Adaptive Compression for small

and fast backups
Which compression level should you select?
Finding the best compression level can be a difficult
task.
Backup Analyzer
Adaptive Compression to the rescue

Automated Restore for easy refreshes, restore

testing and checking database consistency
DBAs often contend with three restore scenarios that can be
quite time consuming to implement:
Keeping a secondary database instance refreshed with production
database backups
Testing backups to ensure they can be restored and running DBCC
CHECKDB on the restored database
Restoring multiple databases in a single pass

Automated Restore
LiteSpeed offers three restore types:
Restore only the most recent full backup
Restore the most recent full backup plus the most recent differential backup, if
one exists
Restore the most recent full backup, the most recent differential if one exists,
and any transaction logs
Optionally, you can tell LiteSpeed to run a database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB) against each
restored database and automatically drop the database upon a successful restore (restore testing) for
automatic cleanup.

Object, data, transaction-level

recovery to minimize downtime
DBAs are often asked to restore individual
objects to a database, restore old data or simply
undo a recent T SQL event.
The problem with this solution is not that it
doesnt work it does, the problem is quite
time-consuming

Object, data, transaction-level

recovery to minimize downtime
LiteSpeed includes a few different ways:

Object-Level Recovery (OLR) to recover objects and

data.
SELECT from backup to query backups directly
Transaction Log Reader to undo and redo
transactions

Object Level Recovery

Load a backup or a set of related backups, review the list of tables,
views, functions, procedures, etc. and quickly generate the DDL
script to re-create the object. If its data youre interested in, you
can preview the data from any table or recover these objects to a
database.

Transaction Log Reader

Encryption to protect your data

Companies might also have compliance regulations in place that require their data to be
protected.
Encryption occurs after compression, in memory, so backups remain small, but secure
0.5 percent increase in CPU using AES-256
40-128-bit RC2
168-bit 3DES
128-bit RC4
128-256 bit AES

Protect backup and restore

operations with Network Resilience
A problem with your network or disk can easily
cause a backup or restore to fail immediately.
LiteSpeeds Network Resilience
No need to restart the backup.
No need to restart the restore.
