I've tried this, but I get: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat: can't uncompress stdin This is using BackupPC 3.3.0 (Debian stable) > Not sure of a "better" way.... Backuppc 4.0 includes a counter for > number of files xfered though that doesn't help for BPC 3.x The counter isn't really that useful, I think, especially not if it doesn't have a "X of Y files" total that doesn't change (cf. rsync, which is kinda useless, as the total keeps increasing). The more I think about it, the more I want XferLOG uncompressed/unbuffered, but also structured in a way so that it starts a new line when it inspects a file, and then finishes the line with details and the verdict (same, create, link, …) also sprach Tony Schreiner <anthony.schrei...@bc.edu> [2016-08-04 15:52 +0200]: > Also on the backup host, you can get the process id of the current dump > processes (there will be two per host during file transfer), and do > > (sudo) ls -l /proc/{pid1,pid2}/fd > > if a file is being written to backup it will show up in this list.
