plesk backup expose rsyncable option

It would be nice if the plesk backup commandline option would expose the gzip rsyncable option.
by default a small change in source files will cause the a gzipped file to be totally different. the rsyncable option gives slightly worse compression but means the zipped file will be similar at a byte level.
This allows backup to be handled much more efficiently if sychronising with rsync or storing on a deduplicated file system.
You can get round this by backing up to std output and then piping into gzip, for example
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server -z --output-file=- | gzip -f --rsyncable > /var/lib/psa/dumps/dailybackup.gz

I want backup created through the web interface to be able to be zipped with --rsyncable

Just noticed /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup is a perl script, I can do this myself
