Using_Compression

   BACKUP can create and restore compressed save sets.

   Using compression may significantly reduce the size of a save set.
   Additional CPU time is required to process compressed files.
   
   See the /DATA_FORMAT qualifier for details.

   Note that when simultaneously using both compression and encryption
   to create a save set, the data is encrypted first.  This means
   that very little data compression can then be accomplished.
