Tairox SOX Backup Express

For Sage 300

Make backups of your Sage 300 database automatically to an offsite FTP location.

What is SOX Backup Express?

SOX backup refers to the process of creating and maintaining data backups. SOX Backup Express will copy Sage 300 databases and folders to an offsite FTP location as an automated overnight operation. SOX Backup Express is now part of Fast Database Management.

XML Compatibility

Settings are stored in an XML file that drives Windows Scheduled Tasks, a core o/s, always-on service. A headless design means jobs cannot get hung up waiting for user responses. Multiple XML files can drive multiple jobs.

Archive Management

The Sage 300 shared folder and matching databases are backed up into a single archive. Between 1 and 99 daily archives can be managed with automatic cycling – at a limit, the oldest is automatically removed. Archive management helps avoid disk full conditions.

DBDump Backup

Any number of Sage 300 databases can be backed up into or restored from a single archive. DBDump format is many times smaller than database backup formats and removes indexes and possible index corruptions.

Integrity Check

Application level integrity should be checked on a regular basis. Database integrity checks database structure, not application integrity. The SOX Backup summary assists analysis by distinguishing errors from warnings.

FTP Connector

Data can be reliably copied offsite, using robust re-try strategies – exponential backoff with configurable limits. Archive file splitting sizes are configurable to accommodate internet connection quality.

SQL Server Databases

CRM, Sales Analysis, or eRequester database backups are stored in daily archives. Any number or kind of SQL Server databases can be included. Provides an automated backup mechanism for SQL Server Express users.

Email Notification

Email subject line includes SUCCESS, FAIL or NOTE status. The email body is a copy of the log file. If internet connectivity is lost, emails are re-tried using FTP settings and mechanisms. 

Log File

A log file is stored with the daily archive, either summarized or detailed. The server name, local server times, disk-space usage and other tracking data is logged. Data integrity warnings and errors are distinguished in the log summary.
