If you are responding to someone asking for help who

Incidently, I do not understand your response, below. Compression should
do exactly the opposite of what you stated. In Back Again 2000 you use
compression during the backup to get more data in a smaller file. The
resulting backup file is smaller than what you backed up. Compression
takes longer to complete, however.
