Is there any way to change the behaviour of Windows Server Backup (WSE2012R2) with regards Volume Compacting. When multiple (incremental) backups on disk, compacts the (largest) volume each time, taking hours - and being somewhat a disk resource hog.
Have a client backup volume which has around 2.2TB of data, as well as data and file history volumes with 800GB and 200GB of data. Backing up to a 6TB drive (which has around 2TB left free all of the time), but every time backup runs (daily) it compacts the 2.1TB backup of the client backups! This process takes hours to complete.
Ideally I would like to switch off compacting of this specific volume, or at least configure this to only happen say every "n" backups so that I could make this to happen maybe once a week.
