Hey, some of the backup processes here run for hours, and there are often reasons why I want to check on what's going on.
How do you monitor backups in real-time? XferLOG.z can't be tail'd, and attaching strace or lsof to the running processes just isn't very sexy. Can you fathom a good method by which I can keep a good eye on what's going on, e.g. a way to have BackupPC write to the host's log file something like 2016-08-04 14:39:11 considering file: /foo/bar/baz (cpool:a/b/c/defgh…) 2016-08-04 14:39:12 skipping file: /foo/bar/baz — already in pool 2016-08-04 14:39:13 transferring file: /foo/bar/baz 2016-08-04 14:39:17 done transferring: /foo/bar/baz I've tried adding --verbose and --progress to rsync, I've tried increasing the XferLogLevel beyond 1 (but the XferLOG isn't real-time in the way I'd seek it). Maybe one solution would be to write the XferLOG without zlib compression and only compress it later? Is this somehow configurable? -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "if a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart." -- oscar wilde spamtraps: madduck.bo...@madduck.net
