A long time ago, when storage space was expensive, it might have been
reasonable to compress backups. But now that storage space is cheap,
why have a backup that you need to unpack to read or copy?
For profiles and mail I use XCOPY new files - no, I do not run with
profiles and mail in the same tree, so they are also backed up to their
own trees. I clone entire partitions and HDDs to other HDDs so they are
usable without any processing - yes, that includes boot partitions from
multiple OSs. And none of this cares what version of anything is used.

If you always take complete backups and only want 1 copy (or maybe 2),
that makes sense. If you start using incremental backups so you have
multiple restore points, you will probably need to compress.
This discussion is about Mozilla profiles in the broadest sense and I'm
not sure why anyone would want to look at anything other than the most
recent backup of a profile.
