Veeam Data Compression (File-level backup)

Question

I’ve used Veeam Backup & Replication V10 solution; have File-level-backup jobs, Synthetic full backup, local repo, and use Optimal Data Compression.

My issue is, High and Extreme Data Compression does not compress The Backup.

my backups took massive storage, why is the compression not working?

What kind of data are you backing up? Some data can't just be compressed anymore. — Gerald Schneider, Dec 08 '21 at 09:29
It's a massive Storage that have Normal files & Directories (Excel, DWG, ...) — Mohamed Eleraqy, Dec 08 '21 at 09:34

You cannot compress incompressible or pre-compressed data.

Depending on your setup, the OS or file system might already be compressing everything (e.g. deduplication on Windows servers).
