Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system and a database server. As a software product, its primary function is to store and retrieve data requested by other software applications. • Despite the cutting-edge technology of SQL Server, businesses now want to back up databases from SQL Server to S3because of the many benefits offered by Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service).
Some of the leading advantages are: · Affordable storage opportunities: S3 offers various storage options and access at rates that are proportional to the quantum of resources used. S3 Storage Class Analysis allows loading of data to lower-cost storage options as per access levels at comparable rates. The loading is enabled by the S3 Lifecycle policy. • · High-performing data durability and scalability: An important benefit of migrating data from SQL Server to S3is the unlimited storage possibility, Users can scale up and down in usage and pay only for the resources used. Hence, when an organization faces a sudden increase in demand for resources, they do not have to invest in additional hardware and infrastructure.
· Cloud-based storage service: While loading databases from SQL Server to S3users avail all the benefits of a cloud-based service provider. These include management access tools and encryption features that stop unauthorized access once the data is stored in S3. The data storage and protection capabilities offered are in alliance with AWS Partner Network. These are some of the many features of Amazon S3. There are several systems for backing up a database from Microsoft SQL Server to S3 The first is the manual backup of SQL Server databases to S3. Create an S3 storage bucket on Amazon Web Service. Decide a user account and get all the required permissions that will assist you to access the storage bucket by using IAM. Next is exporting the database in SQL Server that you want to backup into a file. The last step is uploading the file with the exported data to S3. The whole process can be done through the S3 interface or with a tool like the PowerShell or MSP360Explorer. Another option for backing data from SQL Server to S3is continual process with MSP360 which facilitates routine backup of SQL databases to S3. All that is required is to run the wizard and select S3 as the target backup storage. MSP360 allows you to run SQL Server databases to AWS S3 regularly and ensures fast recovery of databases whenever required. The last option is an image-based backup from SQL Server to S3 with MSP360. You have to run a cloud disaster recovery solution by activating an image-based backup with MSP360. The database has to be backed up to a virtual EC2 machine instance in the AWS cloud. Whenever data needs to be recovered you can do so immediately by starting an instance with a few clicks within the MSP360 Backup.
