Summary	0022311: DB backup compressing can take a long time (move to a background task)
Description	Currently on large databases (2GB and more) the compressing part during backup can take a minute and MM is not usable during that time.. We could add an option whether to compress (or not) and then move compress part to a background task to not block MM usage..
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build	3521
