Today I coming here for a simple post about compression Veeam B&R.
So, I take a short VM Linux running an Active Directory for this.
Below you can see a full backup with a compression set up as Optional.

How you can see the duration time was decrease in almost 20 minutes when I compress backup on extreme option.
The target of backup on this example is an offsite repository. It has a low bandwidth if we compare with a local one. So, when we are planning our offsite backup policy, the extreme compression can help to get better times on your backup execution window.
