I have installed gsutil on my machine and started uploading a large DB. It is in XXXXX.sql.xz format and is 700mb (6gb expanded).

I am hoping that someone can assist me to uncompress it using gsutil commands? Is this possible.

I apologise for a silly question. Just learning. Would be grateful for any decent guidance or tutorials. I ahve searched and found only unhelpful guides

As explained here gsutil can be used for a variety of tasks that include the ones mentioned below. Nevertheless, it is not a compression tool, you need to use standard compression packages.

  • Creating and deleting buckets.
  • Uploading, downloading, and deleting objects.
  • Listing buckets and objects.
  • Moving, copying, and renaming objects.
  • Editing object and bucket ACLs.
