Export and import settings

Default value: true
$cfg['GZipDump']
Type: boolean
Default value: true
$cfg['BZipDump']
Type: boolean
Default value: true

Defines whether to allow the use of zip/GZip/BZip2 compression when creating a dump file

$cfg['CompressOnFly']
Type: boolean
Default value: true

Produced files contain more GZip/BZip2 headers, but all normal programs handle this correctly.
