NEW Row Level Restore

Justin Webster, software developer and technical lead, is delighted he's discovered new Row Level Restore in SQL Data Compare Pro 6.

Where Justin used to routinely restore his backup files to a temporary database, Justin can now use Row Level Restore to compare and synchronize live databases with backups, then perform easy data restore to row-level.

Faster and finer-grained than object-level restore, Row Level Restore has the flexibility to be used with both native backups and backups created with SQL Backup Pro.
