Backing Up...

When you Backup can you not make it possible to minimize the backup window to the System Tray (and be notified by a popup message once complete)

Reason I ask is that we have backups that take over 30 minutes, and if we want to backup another file on a different server we have to open another instance of SQL Backup to do this.

    No, it's not possible to run 2 tasks simultaneously from within one SQL Backup GUI.

    Can this be added to the next release? (especially the minimize)

    Do you plan to use the GUI frequently to perform your backups?

    Yep. I work in QA, so backups need to be made all the time before installing test releases etc..

    Its something that cant be really be scheduled as we need specific backups excluding our regular scheduled backups.

    Given the scenario, I would set up one or more backup settings, and use the extended stored procedure to backup using those settings e.g

    sqlbackup '-use BackupQA1'
    sqlbackup '-use BackupQA2'
