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?

Choice of compressor is indeed something I have in mind, there are faster/better compressor than gzip nowadays. KR, Eric

Re: progress bar?
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.

Re: progress bar?
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?
would a progress bar or percentage be possible in future versions?
