U.S. DATA TRUST OFFERS CONTINUOUS PROTECTION FOR MICROSOFT SQL SERVERS

Users can now recover critical SQL databases up to the point of failure with secure online backup

ROSEVILLE, CA (PRWEB) October 7, 2003 - U.S. Data Trust Corporation (www.usdatatrust.com), a leading provider of data protection and recovery services for business PC servers, today announced expanded protection for Microsoft SQL® Servers.

Companies using the popular Microsoft SQL database application can now have up-to-the-minute protection of their data 24 hours a day. The DataTrust Protect Online Backup and Recovery Service continuously backs up SQL databases using a secure Internet connection, ensuring a company's most recent data is always protected and available. In the event a live database is damaged or a system failure brings down the SQL server, DataTrust Protect can restore the most current data or a historical copy from the online archive, resulting in virtually no data loss from the incident.

"Small to mid-sized businesses have come to rely on their SQL database applications to drive critical company operations. Yet, like most of their critical business information, SQL databases are not being adequately protected by existing backup and recovery practices." said Paul Hrabal, President of U.S. Data Trust. "With DataTrust Protect's expanded protection for SQL servers, companies can now ensure that their databases can be recovered up to the point of failure instead of having to revert to a backup from last night, or worse, from several days ago."

Keith Carlson, systems administrator for KnowledgeDNA of Santa Barbara, CA, saw the value of DataTrust Protect when he had to restore his SQL database. "My SQL database was corrupted during an upgrade. We restored the database with DataTrust Protect Online Backup Service and it worked like a champ. I picked a date and time [to restore from the archive], and bingo, everything was back."

DataTrust Protect Online Backup Service is sold as a managed service with plans starting as low as $199 per month. Installation is usually completed in less than 20 minutes using a simply "point and click" web interface. Once configured, DataTrust Protect runs automatically in the background with the U.S. Data Trust Service Operations Center monitoring backup and restore operation 24 hours a day.

A 30-Day Risk-Free Trial is available on the U.S. Data Trust web site at www.usdatatrust.com/service/sign_up.asp.
