Jeff Moden - Wednesday, August 22, 2018 12:21 PMJust a reminder that if the backups are compressed, they are no longer 1:1 representative of the size of the data.As a bit of a sidebar, if folks are able to compress backups and aren't, they need to have a good serious talk to themselves about why not. 😉
The only downside I've found is that Redgate's Data Compare won't play nicely with compressed backups, which is mildly irritating but not nearly enough to justify not compressing them.

If possible, I'd suggest storing the backup files somewhere off of this server anyways, not just a separate drive on the same server, reduce the single points of failure. Using the backups drive to also store data while the backups still live there just gives you another single point of failure to worry about.

They get swept to tape daily.
