After enabling TDE on production database on SQL Server 2017, Full backup is getting compressed, but Differential and Transaction Log backups are not getting compressed. Any changes to be done for compression to work.

We are already using MaxTransferSize as 1 MB

    Hi pokiri-6646,

    Could you please share us the result of “Select @@version” and the query you used to make compressed Differential and Transaction Log backups?
    Please use the following query to check if the backup file is compressed: 

    RESTORE LABELONLY FROM DISK = ‘physical_backup_device_name’

    IsCompressed =1 means the backup is compressed.

    Best Regards,
    Amelia
