Restore speed vs Compression

Thread needs solution

Hi, 

Does backup compression make a difference? I'm looking to get the fastest possible restore option,regardless of the space consumption. 

Thanks.

Isuru, welcome to these User Forums.

Compression should not make very much difference when you are doing a restore.

All backup data has to be transferred from the drive where it is stored to the drive you are restoring to, and with compressed data, this has to be decompressed during that process after the data has been read into computer memory in readiness to be written to the target drive.
