Why You Should Protect
Your Microsoft SQL Server Environment
Microsoft SQL Server powers business-critical applications and operations, but without a dedicated SQL Server backup solution, organizations remain vulnerable to data loss, prolonged outages, and ransomware attacks. SQL Server databases store transactional data, schemas, logs, and business intelligence that are difficult and time-consuming to rebuild from scratch. Comet Backup’s Microsoft SQL Server backup software delivers reliable, efficient protection with fast, flexible recovery options.
Extended Downtime Impact:
Without reliable SQL Server backups, recovering from database corruption, instance failure, or accidental deletion can take hours or days. Prolonged downtime disrupts operations, delays services, and directly impacts revenue streams for organizations running critical database workloads.
Ransomware Vulnerability:
SQL Server environments are frequent targets for ransomware and malicious actors aiming to encrypt or destroy sensitive business data. Effective protection requires backups with immutable storage that attackers cannot modify or delete, even if the primary database server is compromised.
Compliance and Liability Risk:
Many industries require documented backup and recovery procedures for database infrastructure. An inadequate SQL Server backup strategy increases the risk of failed audits, compliance violations, and legal exposure following data loss incidents.
Critical Data Loss:
SQL Server databases contain application data, transaction logs, and configuration settings essential to business operations. Without dedicated backups, accidental deletions, log corruption, or hardware failure can result in permanent data loss with no reliable recovery path.

FAQS
Comet uses VDI to create a virtual disk device within the Microsoft SQL Server itself, and then performs a regular T-SQL BACKUP statement into the virtual disk device. All writes to this device are transparently redirected into Comet’s chunking engine. This allows Comet to read data in Microsoft SQL Server’s native backup format without requiring any temporary space on the local device.
Comet supports many storage destinations, including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, or you can bring your own hard drives or FTP/SFTP server.
