I really wish your product would automate restoring backups

While we've tried making backups as easy as possible, we do not think that restoring them should be one-click operation due to implications that incorrect restore could cause. Having full backups makes the task easy for anyone with minimal SQL knowledge. We think the person who will take responsibility for restoring backups should at least know RESTORE DATABASE command or be aware of Restore option in SQL Management studio

I would like the option of using the program to restore the backup automatically to another SQL database, which we use as a testing database. Currently I have to unzip the backup and then restore the backup manually. If there was an option to save the backup to a known filename and not in a compressed format I could implement this using the existing After Backup SQL custom script option. Thanks :)

At the moment we're implimenting some features which will allow users to choose a file name format (including constant name) and to disable zipping if necessary. I hope the new version will be released very soon.
Best Regards,
Mike

Thanks :) Yes, with the current version you can save if in a fixed format and without compression. Then just run RESTORE DATABASE.
