SQLBackupAndFTP
SQLBackupAndFTP is a Windows application for backing up SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases, with a supported database list that also includes Amazon RDS SQL Server, Azure SQL, and MariaDB. It can schedule full, differential, and transaction log backups, plus incremental backups for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and can back up files and folders. Destinations include local and network folders, FTP/SFTP/FTPS, NAS, and cloud services such as Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Azure Storage, Backblaze B2, and Yandex.Disk. Backup files are compressed. Restoration can be started in one click, including automatic restoration of a backup chain in sequence, and success or failure notifications can go by email, Slack, Teams, Discord, or webhook. Free permits scheduled backups for up to 2 databases and is limited to full backups, without cloud destinations or AES encryption. Installing the app starts a 14-day Professional trial, after which it switches to Free. Lite costs $39, paid once, a one-time fee per computer; optional Full-Service is $28/year. The maker says purchased licenses do not expire.
