SQL Server Backup Compression Tools

With the introduction of backup compression to the SQL Server industry came a whole new set of advantages to DBAs, Storage Administrators and Network Administrators. The compressed SQL Server backups yielded a significant storage savings which extended the life of the storage subsystem (NAS, SAN, DASD, etc.), saved time for the backup and recovery process as well as permitted more backups to be stored on disk as compared to the native backup options.
