Compressing in Snapshot Replication

  • Hi all,

    There's a "compressing publication" option in Snapshot Replication. I tried to use it because I don't have a high speed connection. The publication I had was less than 10 MB after compression. But it seems when it replicates, it still replicate the uncompressed data, because it took much longer than it should to transfer 10 MB of data.

    Does anybody know why? How could I replicate compressed data?

  • I'm using transactional replication but I guess the snapshot agent should work in the same way. If you want to compress the snapshot you must generate the snapshot in an alternate folder, not the default.

  • I know that. I've already changed the path to an FTP folder. That's how I see the size of the zipped file.
