> File Channels with a large capacity create big checkpoint files. If the
> channel is mostly empty when the backup checkpoint is written the file will
> be large but mostly '0'. It would be nice to be able to optionally compress
> the checkpoint to reduce disk utilization for the backup checkpoint.
