Step 2: Provide the relevant authentication information when prompted. IBackup for windows provides two modes of MS SQL Server authentication.

Step 3: Select the database(s) from the list displayed.

Step 4: Choose the folder in your IBackup account where the backed up database files (*.dmp) are to be stored.

Step 5: You are taken to the 'Schedule backup' screen, where you can schedule the backup for any future day and time or take an immediate backup of the selected databases to your IBackup account.

Note: IBackup for Windows allows you to schedule the SQL Server backup for different instances. For easy identification of the SQL Server Backup set, the name of the Backup set will be 'IBSQLServerBkset' followed by the instance name scheduled for backup.

Example: If the instance name is 'MJOHN\INSTMJOHN' then the name of the backup job is 'IBSQLServerBkset (MJOHN##INSTMJOHN)'
