Purpose
The BackupCompressionLevel parameter specifies the extent of data compression to be attempted during a compressed database backup. You can set the compression level to Fast (minimal compression), Normal (the default), or Maximum (maximal compression).
Parameter is read when …
The backup process begins.
Hint
This parameter enables you to determine the best trade‑off between the time taken to perform the compression of a file and the compression ratio that is achieved. The Fast setting provides the best speed, while the Maximal setting provides the best compression in most cases.
