Backups are not compressed by default and take too long to be published to GCP bucket

Backups are not compressed by default and take too long to be published to GCP bucket.
I am testing it with empty database and it is take almost 10 minutes. So, it seems problematic with a database that has a considerable amount of data.

How to reproduce

• Configure the Backup to be done in a GCP bucket
• Then, create a job to do the full or incremental backup
• See that it takes ~10 minutes with an empty database

Example

Start time May 28, 2024, 7:58:38 AM
Completion time May 28, 2024, 8:07:29 AM

We also face long processing times with AWS S3 backups. As a result, we decided to disable the S3 backup option and instead create volume snapshots of our backup PV's.
