When using the command either 'status dir' or 'status storage=DEVICE' could one of these commands output a percentage complete or a percentage remaining based on the backup job examining the files and sizes of files to be backed up so that either looking at the command or as a monitoring system (nagios plugin) the monitor could report 'bacula backup in progress, 79% remaining'?
