Do I need to purchase an additional agent to backup my SQL database?

No. Snapshot EFB will automate the backup of SQL server databases straight out of the box. No additional agent is required.

Will Snapshot EFB backup locked files?

Yes. As standard Snapshot EFB comes with an anti-file locking agent for Windows which will backup those applications and system locked files.

How do you achieve 90 to 95% compression?

The backups are undertaken on an estate / infrastructure wide basis which in effect means that files appearing on more than one device will only be backed up once. The appliance will make a note of the file and exactly what device that file resides on to ensure a true and accurate recovery position.

Are the internal and external (hot swappable) discs within the Snapshot EFB appliance able to hold more than one recovery position?

The discs are able to hold multiple recovery positions, however, this is dependant upon the capacity of the appliance chosen, the volumes of data and the daily flow of data. We have a number of clients that are holding up to six months worth of recovery positions on their internal and external discs.

Will we require system downtime when installing Snapshot EFB?

No. The Snapshot EFB agents are approximately 100Kb in size, are non-obtrusive and have the ability to compress data prior to sending data across the network to the appliance. During the initial backup the speed of the network may be affected but this will depend entirely on the network capacity and traffic at the time of the backup.
