Stop being the bottleneck.
Start being the hero.
Developers need test databases. You need to do real DBA work. DataTamed gives your team self-service database cloning — so you're freed from the provisioning queue forever.
Three interruptions that
are costing you your week.
Every DBA knows this. The work that matters keeps getting pushed aside by the work that just won't stop.
The Provisioning Queue
Developers, QA engineers, and project managers are all waiting for a test database. Each request means a manual restore, compatibility check, post-restore reconfiguration, and handoff. And then the next ticket arrives.
No Audit Trail, No Governance
Who has which clone? When was it created? Was PII masked before the dev team got access? Without a proper record, you're one audit away from a very uncomfortable conversation with your compliance team.
Weekend Restores
The sprint starts Monday. The test database isn't ready. Your weekend just got a lot shorter. Manual restores are slow, error-prone, and nobody documents them — so you redo them from memory every time.
You configure it once.
The team runs it themselves.
DataTamed puts you in control of the platform, not the process. Set up agents and masking rules once — developers and QA engineers clone whenever they need.
Deploy Agents, Not Restores
Install a lightweight agent on any machine with SQL Server access. One install, one API key. Every subsequent clone runs through that agent without you touching it again. Heartbeat monitoring tells you if an agent goes offline.
Use Your Existing Backups
No migration required. The Backup File Scanner reads any .bak file from local paths or UNC shares the agent can reach. It identifies the SQL Server version automatically and flags compatibility issues before they become problems.
Automate Post-Clone Setup
Every environment needs tweaking after a restore — connection strings, feature flags, reference data. SQL Script Sets are named collections of SQL that run automatically after every clone. Write them once. They run every time, identically.
PII Masking You Can Prove
During import, DataTamed detects six PII categories and applies your masking strategy before the image is stored. Every detection and masking event is logged in the Data Masking Report — ready for an auditor in four export formats.
Governance Without Bureaucracy
The Backup History Report gives you a complete record of every backup job, clone operation, agent, database, server, and timestamp. Filter by date, status, or database and export to CSV, Excel, Word, or PDF — without chasing anyone.
Version Compatibility Validated
Trying to restore a SQL Server 2022 backup onto a 2019 instance? The Clone Wizard catches that before anything breaks. Version compatibility is validated automatically — no more debugging a failed restore at 11pm.
Set up once. Hand off forever.
DataTamed's agent architecture means you front-load the setup — then step back and let the platform handle provisioning requests.
Deploy Agents
Install the DataTamed agent on machines with SQL Server access. Each agent connects to the central server via HTTPS with an auto-generated API key. No VPN. No firewall rewrites.
Import & Mask
Point the Backup File Scanner at your .bak folder. Import the database — DataTamed detects and masks PII automatically. The masked image is now reusable by the whole team.
Configure Script Sets
Create SQL Script Sets for post-clone setup: update connection strings, drop test-irrelevant objects, seed reference data. Attach them to each database image once.
Let the Team Clone
Developers and QA engineers clone using the four-step wizard. They pick the image, target server, and script set. DataTamed handles the rest. You're not in the loop.
The features that matter
to a SQL Server professional.
DataTamed gives you control over the infrastructure without trapping you in the workflow.
Agent Management
Register, monitor, and manage distributed cloning agents across your SQL Server estate. Heartbeat monitoring alerts you if an agent goes offline. Deploy on Windows or Linux alongside SQL Server 2016–2022.
Backup File Scanner
Scan any local path or UNC share accessible to the agent. DataTamed reads the SQL Server version embedded in each .bak file and surfaces them for import — no scripting, no manual inventory.
Production Backup Trigger
Trigger Full, Differential, or Transaction Log backups directly from the DataTamed UI using SQL Server's native backup engine. Works on both Windows and Linux — no SSMS required.
SQL Script Sets
Named collections of SQL that run automatically after every clone. Eliminate manual post-restore reconfiguration entirely. Attach different script sets to dev, QA, and UAT from a single clone image.
Backup History Report
A timestamped record of every backup job: agent, database, server, backup type, status, and destination. Filterable and exportable to CSV, Excel, Word, or PDF — your complete operational audit trail.
Data Masking Report
Every PII detection and masking event logged per database image. Filter by PII type, date range, or database. Export in four formats for compliance handover. Prove your non-prod environments are clean without writing a single report manually.
Less firefighting. More engineering. That's the shift DataTamed creates for DBA teams.
