Hi Jonathan,

I hope the facility to add comments to backups has turned out to be helpful.

We have further enhanced db:create-backup with a boolean compress flag
[1]: If you use a recent version, you’ll need to update your code with
the upcoming version 9.7.2 of BaseX. Nothing will change if you use
the CREATE BACKUP command or the GUI.

Best,
Christian
