Are Windows Backup Files (.bkf) compressed?

  • 772

I'm running out of diskspace on a server - i've got a directory containing around 20gb of bkf files, which are backups of an ADAM store.

I'm thinking of applying NTFS compression to the folder to free up some space, is this a fruitless endeavor?

Thanks!!

  1. Well - I found out. These babies can be compressed.

    I applied ntfs compression to my folder of 20gb of bkf - it freed about 2GB of space!
