New in LiteSpeed for SQL Server 6.0

 

Compression Levels

  • New, improved, and simplified database backup compression algorithms (8 levels) that offer even better CPU usage and compression characteristics and include our new extreme compression levels 7 and 8 that provide much improved compression over previous releases

Backup Analyzer

  • Now you can schedule your Backup Analyzer tests. Using Backup Analyzer, find out what combination of compression, encryption, and striping combinations work best. Schedule tests to run at a specified time that best reflects your backup window

Double-Click Restore Backups

  • Using the new xp_slsCreateDCR extended stored procedure, convert a regular LiteSpeed backup to a Double-Click Restore backup, a self-executing and self-extracting backup that can be restored on servers that do not have LiteSpeed installed
  • Improved to handle large backups without manual striping

Maintenance Plans

  • Reuse and leverage existing plans and subplans on current or other server instances by using the new copy/paste, export/import Maintenance Plan features
  • Simplify custom database selection using wildcards and regular expressions
  • Improved maintenance plan runtime reporting

Network Resiliency

  • More robust behavior when encountering unexpected network write issues. LiteSpeed will wait and retry failed write operations, allowing backups to continue after momentary network connection issues

Restore Wizard

  • Specify the exact point in time to recover by using the new Restore Wizard point-in-time recovery slider

Support for SQL Server 2008 Data Types

  • The Log Reader and the Object Level Recovery (OLR) tools now support the following data types: DATETIMEOFFSET, DATETIME2, DATE, TIME, HIERARCHYID, GEOMETRY, GEOGRAPHY

Cluster Installs

  • Improved cluster installer

Fast Compression

  • The SmartDiff feature has been renamed to Fast Compression
