## Reviews

### "Great Database Backup Toolkit" — 5.0/5

> **Johan** | *21 October 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Seamless web interface management for backup and restore, very easy to use and cross platform
> 
> **Cons**: There is really nothing to dislike, it works day in and day out. Cleans up after itself and just keeps on backing up
> 
> Easy to setup, easy to configure runs on time and uses cloud storage of my choice, Single product for Linux and Windows and multiple database technologies. Its a must have for any DBA

### "SQLBack a solution that uses solutio (my company's solutio)" — 4.0/5

> **Augusto** | *11 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the practicality of connecting with my clients and offering them this solution.
> 
> **Cons**: I just reported a case because there are many issues with notifications. Emails don't arrive, they arrive, and they end up in spam. It uses the business account from which emails are sent and blocks them. I don't know what's happening if it's a premium service. How can I prevent the assigned emails from ever being blocked?
> 
> My experience is good; it's easy to use, practical, a solution, and it works.

> 
> It does exactly what is required for our business. Compact quick reliable detailed yet simple to operate

### "My honest review of my experience using SQLBak." — 5.0/5

> **Cassio** | *01 March 2026* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: SQLbak is very practical for automating and managing database backup routines, something I would otherwise have to manually develop in various scripts and routines. SQLabak has everything ready-made for a fair price.
> 
> **Cons**: The only downside, in my opinion, is the latency of SQLbak with Google Drive on a dedicated server hosted in São Paulo, Brazil. If it were fast and had low latency, the product would be perfect.
> 
> I used SQLBak for many years; it helped me with backup management and organization. I've paused its use because of the latency, which left me somewhat dissatisfied, but that's the fault of the region where I use it, not the application itself.

> 
> Using Sqlback has already saved my company from a data loss disaster. The software is very functional and delivers what it promises.
