Can a web backup be kept on a compressed drive?
and What happens when the compressed web is opened into FrontPage on C:
which is an uncompressed (os) drive?
 
If you mean compressed using NTFS compression, to an application it's
absolutely no different. All the compression is done within the NTFS
sub-system so it's really like any other file or directory except it needs a
bit more processing to compress/uncompress it.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Mark. Yes, it is NTFS.
