Hi,

> Here is a more detailed review.

Thanks for the feedback, I have incorporated the suggestions
and updated a new version of the patch (v3-0001).

The required documentation changes are also incorporated in
updated patch (v3-0001).

Added a new test case file "009_extract.pl" to test server compressed plain
format backup (v3-0002).

v13 patch does not apply on the latest head, it requires a rebase. I have
applied
it on commit dc43fc9b3aa3e0fa9c84faddad6d301813580f88 to validate gzip
decompression patches.

Thanks,
