Andy,

Files were backed, basically the OS & System Objects..etc...,
over 2GB,     would you include these in "data that doesn't
compress well" ?

Hi Bill, there could be any number of reasons for this. For example, maybe
the backup with 0% compression occurred because no data was backed up. You
show "objects -domain=-F:". If this is literally what you have coded, that
would explain it, since there is no file system on Windows that goes by
naming convention "-domain=-F:". Or maybe no files were eligible for
backup. Maybe the data you backed up does not compress very well. Or the
second scheduled event is overriding the local options file COMPRESSION
setting via a schedule option.

Regards,

Andy
