• If you're going to use the backup on another server, rather than the server the backup was saved to, I recommend moving the backup file *before* converting it to a native SQL backup. Litespeed is commonly used because of its compression capabilities and conversions of backup files tend to "re-inflate" the file(s).

    If you don't move it first, it will take much longer to move it after conversion.
