compressed backup in backup chain

  • If  I did a full backup using non-compression, then I did a differential later using compression, will the backup chain break?

    I guess my question should be can compressed backup and non-compressed backup in a backup chain?
    I know it is not a good practice, but just want to know if they can be used together.

    Thanks

  • I would not do it because of the consistency issues in the backup scripts. However, should work perfectly fine when go to restore.
