SQL Server 2008 – Backup Compression

The biggest benefit that I see with the new backup compression in SQL Server 2008 is that it improves the speed of the restore. The thing that is far more important that a database backup is the actual restore process, and with a compressed backup, this can speed up the restore time by as much as 40% which can make a huge difference with larger databases.
