[BackupPC-users] Tailing the XferLOG

2008-10-16 Thread Kevin DeGraaf
Is there a way to tail the XferLOG during an rsync-over-ssh dump? BackupPC_zcat doesn't appear to work on standard input/output, and I don't see any way of disabling compression on the XferLOG without disabling pool compression as well. Thanks. -- Kevin DeGraaf --
