I've also used tail -f XferLOG | Backuppc_zcat which does work, but doesn't update in real time (ie, you have to wait for a number of lines of log output before you see the update.....

Backuppc 4.0 includes a counter for number of files xfered though that doesn't help for BPC 3.x Regards, Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
