I have created a patch to address this issue since the lack of proper scrolling made keeping an eye on the backup progress really hard. I also removed the backlog length limit of 100 lines since the code that enforced the limit did not work correctly in it's current form and garbled the log output.

Start a backup This will bring up the progress window. 2. Click on Details This should open a "window" at the bottom of the progress window. This does not automatically scroll. Minor issue, but it would be handy if it did scroll so that there was some clue as to what it actually happening during a backup.
