Handy Backup provides the two ways to use it as SQL Server backup software:
  • Database backup allows backing up and restoring database tables through the use of ODBC connection. It is applicable to any ODBC-compatible DBMS.
  • MSSQL backup is designed specifically for MSSQL databases: it creates a much more accurate backup copy which contains not only tables, but also all procedures, views and other control elements.
