SQL Safe provides the following new features and fixed issues.

8.0 New Features

Web Console Application

Besides the desktop application, a new Web Application Console has been included that allows users to monitor their registered SQL Server instances and their respective SQL Safe operations. The web console provides most of the same capabilities as the desktop application. Actions such as adding new SQL Server instances, backing up, restoring, or performing other operations depend on the role assigned to the respective user. 

The main features of this Web Console Application are:

• Home tab - with a general status of the environment through alerts, summary information of SQL Safe operations, managed instances, and other important data. 
• Policies tab - with information about all SQL Safe policies existing in the users environment. 
• Operations History tab - with of all SQL Safe operations performed in the users environment and their current status.  
• Instances tab - with a general view of all SQL Server instances registered in the users environment. 
• Databases tab - with general information of the databases that belong to the SQL Server instances registered in the users environment. 
• SQL Safe Agents tab - provides information of all computers that host registered SQL Server instances and the details of related Safe Agents. 

Integration with the IDERA Dashboard

Version 2.0 allows you to register as many instances of your SQL Safe with your chosen IDERA Dashboard. The IDERA Dashboard provides a platform of services that allow an integrated user experience across multiple IDERA products.

User level permissions

SQL Safe Web Application now allows to assign three different roles to users: Administrator, User, and Guest. Each role has its own specific capabilities and/or restrictions. 

Support for EMC Data

SQL Safe now backs up and restores to/from EMC Data Domain.

8.0 Fixed issues

The collection service is no longer set to run as Local System by default and users no longer need to ensure this account has sysadmin rights in the SQL Server instance hosting the repository. They can specify the service account during installation.
