How about "background_data" as new command group (maybe you meant it this 
way to begin with)? Like in:

- background_data migrate
- background_data compression

Only caveat is: It is a bit lengthy this way.

Maybe there is a good shortcut for "background_data" like "bg_data" or an 
alternative word for it that is short but also matches the meaning. But 
maybe these are more rare command calls and then length may not really 
matter.

Best,
