TFS2015 Exception Message: The file "" is compressed but does not reside in a read-only database or filegroup. The file must be decompressed.

 Many hours later I find out what was going on with my TFS restore.

 I was trying to restore a TFS2013 backup into a TFS2015 system. I kept getting this error:


Looking into the error log I saw this one line:
Exception Message: The file "<your_backup_database_name>" is compressed but does not reside in a read-only database or filegroup. The file must be decompressed.

As it turned out the directory of the <your_backup_database_name> was compressed in the Windows os level so I went and set to not compress anymore:


Hope this helps.

Once the above was done the system restored fine.
