Hi,

i am using the Data Compression ( for those big table ) + Backup Compression ( to cover those small table which is not use Data Compression ) in my production DB. Adding in the TDE, notice that the backup compression will become useless.

would like to double check:

if a table got Data Compression, is the Compression come first then Encryption and final IO write ? means

SQL Server step for Data Compression + Encryption
step 1) Data Compression
step 2) Encryption
step 3) IO Write

or

step 1) Encryption
step 2) Data Compression
step 3) IO Write

which 1 is the correct sequence ?


and also i am using Log Shipping, would like to check the Trx Log Backup will return back to the same size as before compress ? eg Previously i have a TrxLog backup file which size around 100MB ( before compress ) and after i enable the Backup Compression, the size is become 10MB only. If i enable the TDE, the Trx Log backup size will become 100MB ?


Thanks.
