   Never mind on that one. It never had a progress bar. :-)

 I upgraded to rdiff-backup-2.2.5, and now the upload status file
 transfer progress bar is missing.
 Is there a way to get it back?

I never said that it's impossible, but "major restructuring" is indeed 
in progress, and "not very difficult" is something else...



i'll have a better look through the source to see if it's feasible -
another option i'd want is to compress the last backup, not just the
diffs, as well as choice of compressor (as optional features) but
these features could make an already somewhat complex script more
complex


Feel free to plug enhancement requests, but it will have to wait for the 
restructuring to be finished (and it can take a while). Choice of 
compressor is indeed something I have in mind, there are faster/better 
compressor than gzip nowadays.


KR, Eric

It's open source so feel free to propose an implementation, if it's not
very difficult. Pull requests are always welcome. Please make sure that
it doesn't impact memory consumption and speed too negatively.

that's a good idea to use -v5, however in my use case i have lots of small
files and a few very large files.

google search suggestions seems to indicate that it's a feature that many
people are looking for.

i don't think it's very difficult to implement this, just a matter of doing
an initial list of all files, tallying their file sizes, then comparing
this list to what's already in the backup (for missing/changed files, etc.)

the \r escape sequence (carriage return) should work on all posix platforms
to reset the cursor to the beginning of the line.

I doubt it, it wouldn't be very helpful and very synthetic if at all possible.


I personally use rdiff-backup with -v5 and the alphabetic order of the files 
tells me where the backup has (roughly) arrived.

progress bar?

2021-04-26 Thread griffin tucker
would a progress bar or percentage be possible in future versions?
