Summary0022311: DB backup compressing can take a long time (move to a background task)
DescriptionCurrently on large databases (2GB and more) the compressing part during backup can take a minute and MM is not usable during that time..

We could add an option whether to compress (or not) and then move compress part to a background task to not block MM usage..
TagsNo tags attached.

If running compression as a background task isn't feasible, it would be great if the backup can be cancelled. This is particularly useful during auto-backup run at startup, as it delays the user from being able to use MediaMonkey.

This worked great on 3521. However it may not be clear to the user that the foreground database backup has moved to a background compressing job, Not sure how to make this better though.

I think it is quite clear, because it is shown in the progress bar on the player..

There is a small regression though, "Backup complete!" dialog is now shown even when backup is scheduled and run automatically,
this shouldn't happen!
