"backup compression default" should be on with DPM?

  • Hello,

    We're changing Netbackup to DPM but not sure if "backup compression default" option should be ON or OFF or doesn't matter.

    anyone can help to figure this out?

    Thanks much~

  • It's really up to you guys. I'd recommend enabling compression on the backups due to the space savings. But in 2012 if you have a TDE enabled database, then the compression may not be a benefit to you (e.g. native backup compression doesn't compress with a TDE enabled database but it may with your product).
