Is there a way to make lzo default compression type for backups?

I see the /etc/vzdump.conf but is no compression type in there, it seems to have been missed out.

Thanks

compress: lzo

I have tried that but sadly doesnt work, I also tried setting stuff for the commented out stuff and that worked fine, I think it isnt implemented and out of sync with the documentation, the stuff that works already exists in the file and documented out, compress: isnt there by default and when adding it has no impact.

tmpdir down to fleecing was already there commented out, compress I had to add. The uncommented notes-template works fine.

#tmpdir: DIR
#dumpdir: DIR
#storage: STORAGE_ID
#mode: snapshot|suspend|stop
#bwlimit: KBPS
#performance: [max-workers=N][,pbs-entries-max=N]
#ionice: PRI
#lockwait: MINUTES
#stopwait: MINUTES
#stdexcludes: BOOLEAN
#mailto: ADDRESSLIST
#prune-backups: keep-INTERVAL=N[,...]
#script: FILENAME
#exclude-path: PATHLIST
#pigz: N
notes-template: {{guestname}}-{{node}}-{{vmid}}
#pbs-change-detection-mode: legacy|data|metadata
#fleecing: enabled=BOOLEAN,storage=STORAGE_ID
compress: lzo

Hi,
for me it works without issues when invoking vzdump via the CLI. The UI does not (yet) apply the default though. Feel free to open a feature request for this: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/
