Faster backups mean faster restores, y'all. Here is a quick talk about why backup compression is good, how to use it in a BACKUP statement, and how to enable it in Minion Backup!

Backup syntax:
BACKUP DATABASE [DatabaseName] TO DISK = 'C:\directory\DatabaseName.bak' WITH COMPRESSION;

In Minion Backup:
UPDATE Minion.BackupTuningThresholds SET Compression = 1;
