Hi Guys.
I have read a lot about compression.IN NBU admin guides also and in the forums.
SOftware compression is not encouraged.
I know that NBU will backup the compressed files as it is.It does not decompress before backing it up.
Now on a Windows OS,I have a compressed folder.:
1.what happen if compresed option is checked in policy? will that folder be decompress first ,then NBU will read the data..is it?
2.if not checked in policy?
Now on a Windows OS,I have a folder.:
3.what happen if compresed option is checked in policy? decompression occurs here before backup?
4.if not checked in policy?
NBU 7.5
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have read this:

NT File System (NTFS) compression can save disk space, but compressing data can adversely affect backup and restore performance. When backing up a compressed NTFS file, NTFS first decompresses the files, then the backup software copies the files to either tape or disk and the files will be re-compressed if either hardware or software compression is enabled within the backup application.
