Description

Hello,

i am a little confused about the logical backup funktion in this operator.
The documentation says that the result of pg_dumpall will be compressed and encrypted and then uploaded to the s3 bucket.

I configured backups in our testing cluster and checked the results but it seems to be just compressed versions without any encryption.

How do i enable the encryption? i dont find any additional config options besides the aws server side encrytion.

Thank you in advance.

Research direction

Start by comparing the logical backup documentation with the reported pg_dumpall output and the available AWS server-side encryption configuration. Determine whether encryption is expected, configurable, or incorrectly documented. Done means the supported encryption behavior and configuration are clear and the documentation or implementation is corrected accordingly.
