    # The name here will be used for naming your backups

      # Backup compression method - can be lz4, zstd, lzma, zlib
      # For zstd/lzma/zlib you can also select compression level using commas
      # e.g. "zstd,11" or "lzma,3" - higher number = better compression but slower
      #
      # lz4 is the fastest compressor with pretty good compression ratios
      #
      # zstd is the second fastest with default settings, while having
      # somewhat better compression ratio than lz4
      #
      # lzma is the slowest and not recommended due to it's very slow speeds
      # unless maximum compression is absolutely essential
