Does Database Vault support remote SQL Server database backups?

Database Vault does not support creating database backups from a remote SQL Server system. This is due to Database Vault using Microsoft’s SMO library to create database backups which requires access to the local file system that the SQL Server instance is running on.

How quickly can Database Vault generate database backups?

The speed at which Database Vault can generate and complete database backups will depend on many factors including…

• The performance of the system that is generating the backups (CPU, RAM, Drives)
• The size of the database(s) being backed up
• The storage method selected and the performance of the device / network

However, for an example using our SQL Server 2014 test system

• 2500 databases
• Sizes from ~100MB to 10GB
• Backup to an external USB disk
• No ZIP Compression
• Using SQL Server backup compression
• Using 3 backup worker threads

We saw completion times ranging from 25 – 35 minutes to do a full server backup of the 2500 databases.
