What BackupPC version and Xfer method are you using? Version 4.x with
rsync does periodically report number of files transferred.
You could look at the restore log file, but it isn't flushed to disk that
often and it's compressed. Something like this should work:
tail -c +0 /TOPDIR/pc/HOSTNAME/RestoreLOG.z | BackupPC_zcat
