The documentation described base backup progress in terms of data streamed, which could be mistaken for the amount of data sent over the connection when server-side compression is enabled. Clarify that the counters measure archive data before server-side compression. The progress report message was also documented as counting bytes from the current tablespace, although it reports a cumulative count for the whole backup. Correct the description to say that the count covers all tablespaces since the backup began. Backpatch to 15, where both the progress report message and server-side compression were introduced.
