OK I did the Catalog compression and left the number of day set to 1. Now this did \
release a whole lot of disk space but the catalog backup now runs over twice as long. \


If I readjust the number of days up to 30 for example will running a catalog backup \
expand all entries that are not 30 days or older? If not how should I proceed to \
re-adjust this setting?
