+|Request backup artifact to be compressed. Compression can yield a backup artifact many times smaller but the exact reduction depends upon many factors including the database format and kind of data stored. If disabled the size of the produced artifact will be approximately equal to the size of backed-up database. Speed of the backup operation is effected by compression, but which is faster depends upon the relative performance of CPU and storage. If backup speed is important, consider evaluating both options - with compression enabled and disabled.
