Re: [rdiff-backup-users] monitor time/speed while backingup

[rader]

Maybe try this..

 dst=/path/to/mirror
 f=session_statistics.SOMEDATESPEC.data
 secs=`grep ElapsedTime $dst/rdiff-backup-data/$f | awk '{print $2}'`
 bytes=`grep TotalDestinationSizeChange $dst/rdiff-backup-data/$f | awk '{print 
$2}'`
 mbps=`echo -e "scale=2; $bytes/1024/1024/$secs" | bc`
 echo $dst backed up at $mbps MBps

or just use rdiff-backup-tools.

I've never seen a backup system report time remaining--that'd
be pretty tricky to code.
