Description of problem: Following the discussion in bug 1188132, engine-backup should support options for optimizing for backup size, backup time, and restore time. Based on the report requested in bug 1213152, we might want to add options like --smallest --fast-backup --fast-restore or similar.
What is the status of this feature?
It depends on the results of the investigation requested in bug 1213152. Once that it ready, adding relevant options should be simple. It's possible that the result will be that the default is good enough, or that we should change the default, and but not add different profiles (thus just closing this one).
Added some options based on very basic testing and guesses. Might change based on the results of bug 1213152.
ovirt-3.6.0-3 release
3 options are documented ( with explanation was is included in which option ) --fast-restore --small-size --fast-backup backup tested on all 3 options.

Please wait for the results in bug 1213152, then either move to VERIFIED if looks ok or to ASSIGNED if we need to change details. Thanks. This bug wasn't about having these options, but about having them do what they say they do.
