Dear Friends,

I am running SQL Server 2000 on Windows2000 Server. As my databases are growing, I wanna compress the backup file and write to the tape drive. While I searched , I have options like 'SQLZIP' , 3rd party tool or a Windows2000 compressed folder.

Is there any native SQL Server command to compress the backup files? Please shed some light

Regards
Kumar
