**What do you like best about IDERA SQL Safe Backup?**

Our databases are well into the TB scale, and the backups with Idera SQL Safe are often over 90% compressed, savings tons of disk space, and also enabling better streaming performance to the cloud as a result.

**What do you dislike about IDERA SQL Safe Backup?**

Not much to dislike, other than sometimes getting tripped up by licenses if we ever decommission a server and have to transport licenses between our on-prem and cloud host. Idera support is great about walking you through the process, but I wish it could be done without having to pick up the phone to call support each time. It occurs only a couple times a year when we migrate licenses to new hosts from old hosts, but enough I wish there was a better path.

**What problems is IDERA SQL Safe Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Over 90% compression on terabyte scale SQL Server database backups.
