41 EMS SQL Angel Administration console - User manual
Q:
Wha t v e r sio ns o f SQ L Se r v e r do e s SQ L Ange l suppo r t ?
A: SQL Angel works with all SQL Server versions (except Compact Edition) from SQL
Server 2000 up to SQL Server 2012. However, as SQL Server Express edition does not include SQL Server Agent service, SQL Angel policies cannot be deployed to these editions of SQL Server.
Q:
M ust SQ L Ange l be inst a lle d o n e a c h se r v e r w hic h I w a nt t o w o r k w it h?
A: Yes, SQL Angel server components must be installed on each instance of SQL Server.
Q:
I ha v e 5 SQ L Se r v e r s, 2 o f w hic h ha v e t w o SQ L Se r v e r inst a nc e s r unning, ho w m a ny lic e nse s fo r SQ L Ange l do I ne e d t o pur c ha se ?
A: Totally you have 7 instances of SQL Server, it means that you need to purchase 7 licenses for SQL Angel.
Q:
Ho w do e s SQ L Ange l r e duc e ba c kup size ?
A: This is achieved by compressing data received from the server during the backup process.
Q:
Do e s t he ba c kup c o m pr e ssio n de pe nd o n SQ L Se r v e r v e r sio n o r e dit io n?
A: SQL Angel uses its own data compression function, which does not depend on a version and edition of SQL Server.
Q:
Ho w m uc h is a ba c kup file size r e duc e d a nd w ha t do e s it de pe nd o n?
A: It depends on data stored in the database and on a selected in SQL Angel compression level. In case of text\numeric data when using compression a backup file size can be up to 80% less in comparison when compression is disabled. If a database mostly stores difficult to compress binary data, such as raster images in JPEG, the compression function cannot significantly reduce the backup file size.
Q:
C a n I r e st o r e a ba c kup file o f SQ L Ange l o n SQ L Se r v e r w it h no SQ L Ange l c o m po ne nt s inst a lle d?
A: No, you cannot. However, you can use the ConvertUtil.exe command line utility, which does not need to be installed and registered to convert backup files of SQL Angel format to a standard SQL Server format. After being converted backup can be restored using standard SQL Server tools.
Q:
Wha t a r e t he r e a so ns fo r r e duc t io n o f t im e r e quir e d fo r ba c kup a nd r e c o v e r y ?
A: The compression level selection allows you to find a compromise between the backup speed and file size. At the same time the backup time execution can be reduced up to
80% compared with a native tool due to a lower load on the disk subsystem.
Q:
Do e s SQ L Ange l use undo c um e nt e d fe a t ur e s o f SQ L Se r v e r ?
A: SQL Angel uses only documented features of SQL Server, which guarantee its correct working on all available versions of SQL Server, as well as on future version releases.
Q:
C a n SQ L Ange l pe r fo r m a st a nda r d ba c kup, suit a ble fo r r e c o v e r y o n SQ L Se r v e r , w it ho ut using SQ L Ange l?
A: Yes, SQL Angel can do it. To do this you need to select SQL Server as a backup type in the Backup Wizard.
Q:
Do e s SQ L Ange l suppo r t lo g shipping?
A: SQL Angel performs log shipping using its compression and encryption features, which

make this process faster and more secure.
Q:
I ha v e se r v e r s in diffe r e nt t im e -zo ne s. At w ha t t im e -zo ne w ill t a sks be la unc he d?
A: When creating a policy, you can select whether a task on servers in different timezones is launched at servers standard time or simultaneously against the console time.
This option is called "Task Scheduling in different time zones" at Step 1 of the Policy
Wizard.
Q:
Wha t is t he a dv a nt a ge o f using t he Po lic y Engine o f SQ L Ange l c o m pa r e d t o st a nda r d m a int e na nc e pla ns o f SQ L Se r v e r ?

A: Several policies can be deployed to a single server, their runtime can be the same and the execution time can intersect. However, 2 tasks of backup/recovery/log shipping can not be executed simultaneously on a single SQL Server instance.
Q:

A: You can convert SQL Server maintenance plans into SQL Angel policies using the
Maintenance Plan Conversion Wizard ("Maintenance Policies | Convert from
Maintenance Plan" context menu of the Server tree).
Q:

A: SQL Angel has the e-mail notification mechanism informing of the policy execution results. Also SQL Angel Console displays statuses and results of policies while connecting to a server.

A: Yes, you can. However, your SQL Angel Console configuration must be accessible to all your computers. The configuration can be stored both in a file and in a database on any SQL Server. In this case it is recommended to store the configuration on SQL
Server. To change the configuration storage location, call "Options | Save
Configuration", specify a new location and enable the "Switch to saved configuration" option to use a new location. In SQL Angel Console, installed on other computers, you should switch to the new location using the "Options | Switch Configuration" dialogue.
