| I've been working on porting my backup routines to 2008 and fooling around with the COMPRESSION option for both database & log(!) backups.This report shows the storage savings when using COMPRESSION as a backup option.[CODE]USE msdbGOSELECT database_name , description , type , CONVERT(varchar(26),backup_start_date) AS [Backup Start Time] , CONVERT(varchar(26),backup_finish_date) AS [Backup Finish Time] , RTRIM(CONVERT(varchar(55),CONVERT(DECIMAL(4,1),(backup_size/compressed_backup_size))) + ' :1') AS [Compression Ratio] , CONVERT(DECIMAL(9,2),(backup_size * .000001024)) AS [Un-Compressed Backup Size MB] , CONVERT(DECIMAL(9,2),(compressed_backup_size * .000001024)) AS [Compressed Size MB] FROM msdb.dbo.backupsetWHERE (backup_size/compressed_backup_size) > 1ORDER BY [Backup Finish Time] DESC , [Compression Ratio]GO[/CODE] |
