Row Level Recovery – LiteSpeed allows you to restore data down to the row level by incorporating SELECT statements into the recovery process, returning only the data you need from your backup file. |

Log Reader - Allows users to recover data stored in transaction log files by rolling back any operation and reconstructing transactions. |
 |
Double Click Restore – LiteSpeed allows you to create a database backup file that can be restored simply by ‘double clicking’ the backup file (launching the LiteSpeed portable executable). This allows the DBA to create portable backup files and further reduces restore times in a disaster recovery scenario. LiteSpeed is the only SQL backup solution to offer this feature. |
 |
Guided Restore – LiteSpeed will ensure that additional backup files are automatically added to the restore when a transaction log or differential backup is selected using the restore wizard. |
 |
Encryption – LiteSpeed helps secure your data by offering nine levels of encryption, up to AES 256-bit. The encryption process has minimal effect on the performance of LiteSpeed. |
 |
Cluster Aware – LiteSpeed fully supports clustered environments. |
 |
Log Shipping – LiteSpeed will improve the performance of log shipping by reducing the size of the logs, therefore increasing the speed of the log transfer. LiteSpeed contains its own advanced log shipping functionality for Standard SQL Server users. |
 |
Attached File Backup – LiteSpeed offers the Attached File option allowing you to attach documentation to your database archive. This documentation will be restored along with the database as part of the recovery operation. LiteSpeed is the only SQL backup solution to offer this feature. |
 |
Configurable to your environment – As well as configuring the levels of compression and encryption, LiteSpeed allows you to set the CPU throttle, processor affinity for each server backup, and how many threads are utilized during the backup process, allowing you to configure the LiteSpeed engine to gain optimal performance. |
