Zipping SMS Backup Files

Zipping SMS Backup Files

Zipping SMS Backup Files

(OP)
Would there be an issue in restoring (if necessary) if we zip and compress all of the SMS 2003 backup files?

RE: Zipping SMS Backup Files

I cant think of why it would be an issue, other than you would have to Unzip them when you went to restore a system.

I have never tried that.  So I'd give it a test run in the lab before I implemented it in production.  Actually its not a bad idea to restore the production backup on a server in the test lab once a year (at least) anyway. I've read dozens of times where admins thought the backup was going well for years, and it never was.
