Use --rsyncable gzip optiion #90

Open StevenBarre opened 2 years ago

gzip supports an option called --rsyncable that makes the resulting file more deduplication friendly while only costing about 1% additional space. This will allow the NetApp to deduplicate subsequent backups of the same DB if little has changed.
