Hello,

We have a SQL 2008 database with compatibility level set to 80. I don't know if this is the cause of no entry 'backup compression default' in sys.configurations when ran:

sp_configure 'show advanced options',1
GO
reconfigure
Go
sp_configure
go

How do I configure 'backup compression default' in sys.configurations, if it is possible?

Thanks,

Standard edition cannot create compressed backups. It's an enterprise-only feature in SQL 2008 (It's in Standard Edition in SQL 2008 R2)

I'll request the database to be upgraded.

Thank you,

Theres a vast difference in the licencing costs from Std to Ent, if all you want is compression then Redgate's SQLBackup or Quest's LiteSpeed both offer a good alternative and are very reasonably priced.

If you mean upgraded to SQL 2008 R2, bear in mind that is a different version of SQL (not a service pack) and hence requires new licences, testing, an upgrade plan, etc.
