I don't any suggestions on measuring % completion or throughput, but if you are using rsync on an OS that has strace available, you can do something like: # strace -fp `pidof rsync` -e open [..] open("usr/lib/chromium-browser/xdg-mime", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("usr/lib/chromium-browser/xdg-settings", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("usr/lib/cli/Mono.Addins-0.2/Mono.Addins.dll", O_RDONLY) = 3 [..] on the host you are backing up. You can do something similar on the backuppc server but you'll see I/O activity on the file pool path, which may or may not be of use to you. Hope that helps.
