[edb@centos7tushar bin]$ ./pg_basebackup -Ft --server-compression=lz4 
-Xstream -D foo

[edb@centos7tushar bin]$ ls foo
backup_manifest  base.tar.lz4  pg_wal.tar

this same is valid for gzip as well if server-compression is set to gzip

edb@centos7tushar bin]$ ./pg_basebackup -Ft --server-compression=gzip4 
-Xstream -D foo1

[edb@centos7tushar bin]$ ls foo1
backup_manifest  base.tar.gz  pg_wal.tar

if this scenario is valid then both the folders format should be in lz4 
format otherwise we should
get an error something like - not a valid option ?
