HyperBac is online database backup software developed by the original developers of LiteSpeed. It uses integrated compression to reduce the size of database backup and export files, with reductions of up to 90% in some cases. This can reduce disk and tape storage requirements and shorten backup windows.
An hbc2 file is part of HyperBac's backup and export workflow and stores compressed archive data. HyperBac supports database systems including Oracle, SQL Server, SharePoint, SAP BRBackup, MySQL, IBM DB2 and Sybase.
On Microsoft Windows, use WinExtractor to extract an hbc2 file. The extracted data may then be used with the appropriate HyperBac or database software.
