Is there any way to compress or otherwise shrink the file Priv1.edb

You can do an offline defrag, but these are not recommended for regular
admin purposes. Exchange will re-use the whitespace in the file.

You really shouldn't be doing offline backups of the flat files anyway - do
online backups using SBSBackup (NTBackup) or a third party product with an
Exchange agent.
