 In the case of the Windows operating system, there is a complimentary software library to QATzip, the Intel Intelligent Storage Library (ISA-L). This serves as a software fallback mechanism for QATzip in the case of hardware failure, and a software-based option when the hardware is not available.

 ## Backup operation
 
 [!INCLUDE [sssql22-md](../../includes/sssql22-md.md)] introduces an `ALGORITHM` extension for backup compression for [BACKUP (Transact-SQL)](../../t-sql/statements/backup-transact-sql.md#compression).
 
-The T-SQL BACKUP command WITH COMPRESSION has been extended to allow for a specified backup compression algorithm. When using Intel QAT for backup compression acceleration, the algorithm QAT_DEFLATE initiates an Intel QAT compressed backup if the drivers are available and the SQL Server configuration has been completed successfully as illustrated in the previously documented steps.  
+The T-SQL BACKUP command WITH COMPRESSION has been extended to allow for a specified backup compression algorithm.

 > [!NOTE]
 > The standard compression algorithm is MS_XPRESS and is default compression option.
 
 Use the ALGORITHM command to specify either of these two algorithms (`MS_XPRESS`, `QAT_DEFLATE`) for backup compression.

 ## Use case - Backup and restore operations
 
-One use case for integrated offloading and acceleration is [backup compression](../backup-restore/backup-compression-sql-server.md). Compression speeds up backup and restore operations, and saves space. Compression also consumes CPU resources which may impact application performance. Because Intel QAT is an integrated offloading and acceleration solution, you can use it to back up and restore databases with compression, and reduce the load compression places on the CPU.

 Backup compression is enabled by including the COMPRESSION keyword for BACKUP T-SQL commands, and is now available with an ALGORITHM parameter to choose between MS_XPRESS (default) and QAT_DEFLATE.
