Yep, I transfer backups files all the time with -Fc and never the problem was rsync

To backup a database I do:
nice -n +19 pg_dump -Fc database | nice -n +19 gzip --rsyncable -nc > database.dump
If -Fc option is compressed by default I dont need gzip the backup, but I need pass --rsyncable and -n options.
How can I pass gzip options to compress in pg_dump?
pg_dump isn't using the gzip program, it's just performing compression per the gzip compression specification, and doesn't provide those two features to control it's processing (or any features beyond what's documented on the pg_dump reference page).
