Hi,
creating a Db2uBackup resource on OpenShift with "compress: true" (link):

apiVersion: db2ubnr.databases.ibm.com/v1alpha1
kind: Db2uBackup
metadata:
name: db2ubackup-mas-maslab-maslabws-manage
  namespace: db2u
spec:
  databaseBackup:
    backupTarget:
      vendor: disk
    dbName: BLUDB
    type: offline
    compress: true
db2uName: mas-maslab-maslabws-manage

results in this command being executed:

2025-04-08 14:38:02.948866 Backup process started....
2025-04-08 14:38:02.948911  INFO: /bin/sh -c "db2 'backup db BLUDB on all dbpartitionnums  to /mnt/backup/BLUDB/db2ubackup-mas-maslab-maslabws-manage/backup_off_1'"

Why compression option is not used? (so the result backup file is not compressed)

Any hint about on to fix it?

Hi Diego. Yes, the compress option is available from the CR but currently undocumented since the feature is not available yet. Currently, if you want a compressed backup you would have to take it manually from the engine pod.

Thanks a lot for the info! I'll wait for the next version when this feature is released.
