Description

Currently, the backup compression process is always performed asynchronously; the existing backup is compressed into a new file, which then replaces the original. However, when using immutable storage, this behavior increases storage usage because the original backup file cannot be deleted.

To address this, the compress_async flag, defaulting to true, has been added to backup offerings. The default setting maintains the current behavior. When the flag is set to false, compression occurs during backup creation, resulting in only a single file copy. However, enabling synchronous backup compression slows down the backup creation process and makes it prone to timeouts unless the timeout settings are adjusted accordingly.

It is important to note that the flag only applies to backup offerings that have the compress flag set to true.

How Has This Been Tested?

Test description

1. I created a new backup offering with compressasync = false, and another without specifying compressasync.
2. I created the "sync" and "async" VMs and assigned the respective offerings to each VM.
3. I created backups using each of the VMs. I observed that the backups created with the "async" VM maintained the previous behavior, whereas the backups created with the "sync" VM were compressed during creation.
