Hi Jason,
Thanks for the honest responce.
The compression ratio was accurate when I first reviewed and purchased SQL Backup at version 4.x (I had to do a comparison with litespeed and make a bussineess case). I was quit baffled to see that the uncompressed size of a database that has 50% free space nearly twice the used space. We need to provide accurate information to our clients and are now facing a situation where we are having to justify the figures previously published.
Anyway my opnion is you should go back to the way it was otherwise to me its lying. Others would say bending the truth.
Its little things like this that errodes peoples perception in the products they purchase and the companies they deal with, ie how can I be sure of the other stats/figures actually mean something?

Misleading compression ratio and uncompressed size
Hi all,
I've noticed that the uncompressed size and the compression % is misleading as they uncompressed size looks as though it is the actual size of the database including free space.

Thanks, Jason I was thinking of doing that but thought the SP should exit with a non zero code.
We do not use the SQL backup gui to create jobs etc but create the commands as per the help instructions.
I think we need to review all the other jobs we have scheduled as they will have similar problems. However I have noticed that if you use the command line insteaed of the SP that returns a failure.
Perhaps the help documentation needs to mention that the SP will not return a failure unless and requires some code around it. / comments

I managed to fix my install by uninstalling redgate on all nodes first including manually deleting the registry settings (these do not get deleted on uninstall, then reinstalling on to one of the shared drives.
However the globalpath registry setting was still pointing to the local disk so manually changed this to point to the shared drive.
repeated the same thing on all nodes. / comments
