Today, I will be sharing the common issue you will face in MS SQL database if you don’t know what version of server you are working on.

Have you ever encountered following error message

Backup Database With Compression is not supported on Standard Edition

when executing the following query

Backup Database <Database> To Disk ‘C:\Backup’ With Compression

?

If yes, then you will be using SQL 2008 Express, Workgroup, or Standard editions where Backup Compression is not supported. This feature is only supported in Enterprise edition. However, we can restore the compression database. The only solution I can figure out till date for backup compression in other editions except enterprise is to manually zip them.

Do let me know if there is other way? Hope this will help DB guys to stop pulling their hairs :). See you folks again and keep blogging!

Best Regards,
