We have a retention period of 2 weeks on our SQL2008 environment which is dumping directly to our DD670. A quick check of our current stats show we are getting 34.02x compression on the contents of this directory. In theory compression will get better the longer you keep the data. We don't have a need for more than 2 weeks worth so that's all we keep.
I can probably get some more specifics regarding the amount of data being backed up etc.. if that would help any further.

Having friends who work for EMC, they say 3:1 to 4:1, but I am looking for real numbers that users are seeing not the sales numbers.
