Best Backup & Recovery (SQL Server) Product: LiteSpeed® for SQL Server (Gold)
"LiteSpeed sets the bar for other SQL Server backup programs. LiteSpeed has always used compression to reduce your backup windows but the new release has also added support for the new FILESTREAM data type, and a new SmartDiff allows you to specify conditions for full or differential backups."—Michael Otey, technical director, Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazine
"Few competitive products can match the robust feature set in LiteSpeed for SQL Server. Quest Software’s new SmartDiff technology scrunches down database backups into even smaller file sizes and is one of the reasons why LiteSpeed gets my vote."—Jeff James, editor-in-chief, Windows IT Pro
