Maintenance Wizard

Hi
After running maintenance wizard, I getting a backup file that is the same
size like the DB but with .bak.
Is there a way to compress this file automaticly?
The original size is 11GB after compress the size is 700MB.
Any idea?
Than'x
Shay
Hi
You could compress the OS directory to save space, or if you wish to move
the backup elsewhere winrar has command line capabilities, so you could call
that as an extra step within the job. Products such as SQL Litespeed will
also do this for you http://www.quest.com/litespeed_for_sql_server/
