Did you try installing pigz?

sudo apt install pigz

Using this dependency allows for way faster backup creation thus lowering downtimes.

Ah 😆 I didn't understand what you meant. The dependency was added globally, I didn't see the alert on my side during the server install (done via ansible so no prompt). I went too fast for the PR, thanks for your info.
