Emanuel,
Thanks for bringing to our attention, I transmit ~900MB of backups over
the WAN rather than the uncompressed 9G database. You've saved a client

I tested using highly compressible data (mostly nulls) and it seems to
work as expected.

Thanks for your report. I was able to confirm this:

This rsync lacks old-style --compress due to its external zlib. Try -zz.
Continuing without compression.
