LiteSpeed for SQL Server- Features and Benefits

Features Benefits
11 levels of compression Choose from minimal compression for fastest backups, all the way up to the highest compression to reduce backup sizes by up to 95%.
Backup Analyzer Gives you the ability to test different LiteSpeed parameters and different backup locations. Every environment has different challenges and the Backup Analyzer allows you the power to expand the tuning capabilities with just a few clicks.
Fastest backup solution available With backups and restores up to 70% faster than standard tools, LiteSpeed shortens the backup window, allowing you to take backups when you need them, not when you can fit them into your business.
Attached File Backup LiteSpeed offers the Attached File option allowing you to attach documentation to your database archive. This documentation will be restored along with the database as part of the recovery operation. LiteSpeed is the only SQL backup solution to offer this feature.
Database Categorization Categorize databases any way you want (PROD, DEV, TEST) as well as assign multiple categories (Location, Application) and then choose your desired view.
Backup Mirroring Backup the data on one server, and then do a full database restore on a different server, eliminating the time needed to install new software.

Guided Restore LiteSpeed will ensure that additional backup files are automatically added to the restore when a transaction log or differential backup is selected using the restore wizard.
Log Shipping Management Allows you to easily configure and monitor both LiteSpeed and native log shipping plans. The ability to visually monitor log shipping includes all relevant latency alerting and allows you to easily add and remove subscribers on demand.
