Suggestions in MySQL backup compression Windows

Hi Elyssa,

                You may want to look into a plug in for MySQL to compress your data. You can try  InnoDB Plugin, this compress tables that reduces the size of your database. This can also reduce fewer reads and writes that cause longer log time for your user data. This can also reduce the Input/output workload that improves throughput.
