Seems to have done the trick: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6474955838717952?logs=test_contrib_basebackup_to_shell#L1


# Reconfigure to restrict access and require a detail.
$shell_command =
    $PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::windows_os
    ? qq{$gzip --fast > "$escaped_backup_path\\\\%d.%f.gz"}
    : qq{$gzip --fast > "$escaped_backup_path/%d.%f.gz"};

I don't think the branch is needed anymore, forward slashes should work for
output redirection.
