SQL Virtual Database: It's As Easy As 1, 2, 3




Have you had to restore a backup file just to perform a five-minute task? What a pain! First you have to search for a server with enough space, then you spend hours waiting for the restore to complete.

Learn how a SQL virtual database allows instant-access to critical data in a backup file without wasting the time or storage necessary to restore the database.

Here are just a few examples of how you can save time, storage space, and hassle by creating virtual databases:

1. Attach a backup of your SharePoint database as a virtual database and recover a SharePoint document in 10 minutes rather than 4 hours!
2. Satisfy auditor requirements in minutes by comparing permissions between your production database and a virtual database created from last quarter’s backup
3. Use your backups as database snapshots to accurately recover data or objects from any point-in-time
