I have to say I am a bit miffed. I have now purchased two licenced copies of what seems to be called the Lite version of SQL Backup v5 only to find that the available Compression ratio in the registered version is set to 1.
I think there is a bit of mis-representation here. There is very little on the Red-Gate web site that says this is the case for the Lite version. Your FAQs say:
"The Pro license allows you to back up and restore databases on a remote server via the GUI, and allows both 128-bit and 256-bit encryption. You can't do remote backups and restores via the GUI with a Lite license and it does not allow encryption. If you have a SQL Server cluster and wish to use the cluster-aware installation mechanism, you will require Pro licenses. Other features, such as using multiple threads and Timeline Monitoringâ„¢ are available in both Lite and Pro licenses. See the feature comparison list for further details."
There is nothing here to say that the allowable compression ratio in the Lite version is any different to the Pro version and it is not until you go into the feature comparison list do you see that Lite has 'Standard' compression and Pro has 'High' compression. I can find nothing that explains the difference between these two, nor anything that indicates that the 'medium' compression level 2 is not available in the Lite version.
I really like Red-Gate products but feel a bit aggrieved that the compression level 2 has been removed from the Lite version. / comments

My problem seems to have magically fixed itself over the weekend !
I hate problems like this because you can't be sure when they are going to re-appear. / comments

I am using SQL Backup v5.2.0.2825. I have several backup jobs that work correctly but one at the moment gives me the same 'System Error 87 (The parameter is incorrect) plus a warning 210: Error writing to backup file. The database being backed up is very small arounb 50MB. The log indicates that the backup was successful.
