I lot of this information can be sniffed from the syslog entries.=20
You may need to set extended logging on.
Then run a script before and after the backup sniffing out the required
info.

Subject: [Box Backup] Snapshot Mode Progress


Finally upgraded to .10, and so far so good.

I do have a general question regarding the way snapshots are handled =
when
doing a backup.  Currently, you just run 'bbackupctl sync' and the =
daemon
starts the backup.


Well, when doing backups, I *really* like knowing the progress and what =
the
backup is doing.  I don't believe there is a way to do it now, but can I =
put
a request in that when running the 'bbackupctl sync' in snapshot mode to
have the ability to display the progress and/or not terminate until
finished.

Basically I would like to do this for running post-backup scripts.  For
example, I'm paranoid and want to be notified with a list of a files
changed, the time it took, the total data transferred, etc.

Thanks,
Mike
