| Hi, All! I need to encrypt my SQL 2000 backups. Just wanted to get some recommendations from those of you, who have implemented backups encryption. What products do you use? Did you run into any problems getting them to work? Are they working well for you? |

If you have SQL Litespeed then you can just use the encryption that is already built in.  Daniel, MCP, A+SQL Server DBAwww.dallasteam.com |

| Thanks! I am definitely going to take a look at SQL Lightspeed. Have you ever used it yourself? Also, on my list right now are Red Gate's SQL Backupand Idera's SQL Safe... |

Yes. We use Litespeed for our backups. Our 240gb db has a litespeed backup of only 27gb, which saves a great deal of money in tape disks.  I have not used the encryption for it though. Maybe someone else on here has?Edit:Try looking here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/dcorey/litespeedforsqlserver.aspDaniel, MCP, A+SQL Server DBAwww.dallasteam.com |

| SQL Litespeed is one of the best products we have ever purchased. I don't brag about a lot of vendors. I will brag about them all day though. If you can't afford a product like LiteSpeed or Idera, then you might want to consider zipping up your backups and using the encryption in the new zip product. It has pretty decent encryption and is very inexpensive. On the other, LiteSpeed will speed up your backups, save a lot of money on disk space, and offer extremely high and complex levels of encryption.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
