To see BackupPC progress, I thought a little more about Tyler's
suggestion, and came up with this:
watch "lsof -n -ubackuppc | grep -v \" mem \""
Whether rsync or smbclient are used, files being opened by the user
backuppc show up in this list.
Probably someone can come up with a refinement of this but the man page
for lsof is a little long :-) .

My biggest complaint about BackupPC (and I have few), is that both
backups and restores show nothing when in progress. At least with rsync.
I'd prefer something like a way to see the last 10 files copied, or
something, just to see what it is doing.
Gimili, you can run this on the target machine:
for i in `ps -ef | grep rsync | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2};'` ; do
lsof -n | grep $i ; done
This will list all open files currently in use by any processes named
"rsync". A few of those will be the files currently being read or
written. You can use this to see what is happening.
I had a problem recently where rsync restores failed if they ran longer
than 12 seconds or so. The problem turned out to be /tmp having the
wrong permissions. Make sure it is mode 1777 (rwxrwxrwt).
Regards,
Tyler
