--- features: - | Adds optional compression for backups created with mariabackup. Adds two new CLI parameters to the mariabackup script that are used to enable compression and to choose a compression tool. * ``--compress=True|False`` * ``--compressor=`` Also introduces new Ansible variables that control the above mentioned parameters. * ``galera_mariadb_backups_compress`` * ``galera_mariadb_backups_compressor`` Each backup archive is stored in a dedicated directory, alongside the backup metadata. upgrade: - | Backup compression is disabled by default, so no changes need to be made for existing deployments. Should compression be desired, set ``galera_mariadb_backups_compress`` to ``True``. Choose a compression tool with ``galera_mariadb_backups_compressor``, default is ``gzip``. others: - | Compressed backups cannot be prepared in advance, this step must be manually carried out by the user before importing it into MariaDB.
