MS SQL Express cannot create compressed backups
-
In case you did not know this... I didn't know this, and this is not a big deal. but just annoyed that the error messaging was useless.
The error in Azure Data Studio was less than helpful, as normal..
So I reran the process and told it to script it. Then executed the script. Look, a usable error!!!

Would not have expected that.

It is not a game breaker. The DB is only 1.2GB, but out of habit, i always compress backups with the native tools.
This time I have to compress it after the fact. not a huge deal. Just annoying.

Yeah, it's Express. Just seems like an odd feature to remove there. Definitely not a big deal, you can compress manually later.
