| We have our first server with SQL 2008 TDE and with both third-party tools SQLBackup by Redgate and with our Virtualization backup tool, vRanger Pro 5, we are seeing 5% or less compression; where 85% was the norm before TDE. Anybody seing respectable backup compression from third-party tools after TDE?vbwrangler |
