"Sets <code>pigz: 1</code> in <code>/etc/vzdump.conf</code> so Proxmox's backup tool uses pigz natively.",
"Installs the <code>pigz</code> apt package if not already present.",
"Writes a wrapper script at <code>/bin/pigzwrapper</code> that forwards every argument to <code>/usr/bin/pigz</code>.",
"Moves the original <code>/bin/gzip</code> aside to <code>/bin/gzip.original</code> and replaces <code>/bin/gzip</code> with the wrapper. From now on, <em>anything</em> that calls <code>gzip</code> — logrotate, <code>tar czf</code>, scripts, vzdump — uses pigz transparently."
"Registers a dpkg diversion for the system's <code>gzip</code> binary (<code>/usr/bin/gzip</code> on Proxmox VE 9, <code>/bin/gzip</code> on Proxmox VE 8): the real binary is kept beside it as <code>gzip.distrib</code> and the wrapper takes its place. From now on, <em>anything</em> that calls <code>gzip</code> — logrotate, <code>tar czf</code>, scripts, vzdump — uses pigz transparently.",
"Checks that the file kept as <code>gzip.distrib</code> is a working gzip before the wrapper is put in place, and reinstalls the <code>gzip</code> package first when it is not. A host that still has the earlier <code>/bin/gzip.original</code> swap is moved to the diversion when the option is applied again."

"replacesTitle": "This replaces a system binary",
"replacesBody": "Replacing <code>/bin/gzip</code> with a wrapper is unusual. It is safe (the wrapper produces gzip-compatible output), but worth knowing: scripts that hardcode paths, run inside restrictive chroots, or verify binary hashes may behave differently. The original binary is preserved as <code>/bin/gzip.original</code> so you can always swap it back.",

It is safe (the wrapper produces gzip-compatible output), but worth knowing: scripts that hardcode paths, run inside restrictive chroots, or verify binary hashes may behave differently.
