OK I did the Catalog compression and left the number of day set to 1. Now this 
did release a whole lot of disk space but the catalog backup now runs over 
twice as long. 

If I readjust the number of days up to 30 for example will running a catalog 
backup expand all entries that are not 30 days or older? If not how should I 
proceed to re-adjust this setting?
