In my current scenario I have a service of Windows which rotates in the background which at a specified time by me rotates a batch that makes the backup and saved in the Dropbox. But what happens is that not always the Dropbox is allowed to access the internet due to user permissions.
To have an exit I search on the internet and found this site Free Sql Server Express Backup Utility, which is free, and a paid tool, which is the Sql Backup and FTP....
My question is this: did anyone use these software? Are they trustworthy? Is there any alternative I can use?
*Only at the same information level, I want to use a utility that backs up and play directly in my FTP, for FTP no user permission required*.
Afterlife of that question in the Soen also.

A backup suggestion: do it normally on your PC and schedule a routine to transfer the backup to Dropbox. This routine can be a bat that performs FTP or even a Vbscript that reads the latest files to transfer via FTP. I’ll send you an example if you need.

I’ve used the SQL Backup and FTP and it works well. It has the limitation of two databases, but for simple and sufficient uses. If you want a code solution, you can always use Powershell and module
sqlps
which provides a command to do backup.– Omni
@ricarela. I can’t use the expensive Dropbox right now. The user is not an administrator and therefore bar the internet access of Dropbox, IE, the backup file is not sent and with this I have no control, and this is what I want to avoid at this time. There are many clients, and if for example 20 are not sending I will not have control over it. =(

@Omni guy, so I think I’ll use it even. I don’t know if the free one has FTP support, but I’ll try! Thanks for the tip!
