Compressed backup to Compressed Restore

  • Hi Team,

    I have taken a compressed online backup of one database. The database size came from 360GB to 190GB.

    Now i want to restore the compressed backup which should replace as 190GB.

    But when i try to restore it was coming as 360GB.

    Is it possible to do the restore in that way. If yes could i have the script to restore.

    Thank you

    Regards

    Doesn't work that way, the backup compression is like zipping a file, uncompressing is then the equivalent of the restore. The database will be exactly the same size as the original after the restore.

  • Thanks a lot for quick response .

    So now i should ask our Infra team to add some extra space before i restore.

    That would be a really good idea 😉
