Does compression level matter?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Titel says it all: does the compression level matter for the backup?
I know the required space is lower and the required time to make the backup is longer with higher compression. But does it change something about the backup itself?

Thanx.

Nothing that I'm aware of. Some users are suspicious of higher compression, but I've done hundreds of restores and never had any issue with maximum compression. I always use maximum to minimize disk usage so I can hold more backups.
