Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether the request is for streaming off-site backups or only skipping the local staging step when compression and encryption are disabled, then trace the existing backup flow and define how completion should be verified.

Description
Disclaimer - I am not an expert on this topic and my question could be stupid but I am trying to understand this a bit more.
So to my understanding, when a full backup is being made it first copies everything to the set local directory so that it can compress/encrypt the data before sending it to the external backup site. Now my question is, why does it need to copy everything to the local drive? Can't it compress/encrypt the data in memory and then send it directly to do the off-site backup?
The reason why I am asking this is that regularly writing and rewriting everything on my hard disk puts a lot of stress on it (stress that in my eyes is not needed).
Also if this is required for compression/encryption would it be possible to skip this step if you disable both compression and encryption?
Thanks in advance 😅
