So previously we were using mongodump for backups w/ MongoDB 3.6.
We just upgraded to Percona 4.0 and are now using "hot backup", ie db.runCommand({createBackup ...
In both cases we've been .gz the backups.
Any ideas why "hot backup" is nearly double the filesize? Is there any way to compress it even more? FYI the command we're using is "tar -zcvf", and with mongodumb it was "--gzip".
