Db Maint is a maintenance tool for SQL Server installations. Db Maint facilitates database maintenance, improves and monitors SQL Server performance and significantly reduces the risk of losing business critical data. Db Maint now creates a new backup device each time a backup is performed. This allows for features such as test restore, log shipping, compression, copying and archiving of backups.

The client application has been enhanced with a number of useful dialogs, including checking of fragmentation level, mapping users to logins after transferring databases, and detailed space usage information. The user-defined command features allow users to add their own context-sensitive commands to the client. Db Maint comes pre-configured with over 50 user-defined commands. Other much asked-for enhancements are support for differential backup and email notification using SMTP.

With the release of Db Maint 4.0, there is now also a "Db Maint for MSDE" version available. It has the same features as the regular Db Maint, will only run on MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 and has a substantially lower price than the regular Db Maint.
