This is a problem that I've noticed before.  There are sometimes
warnings in XferLog which indicate that certain files did not get backed
up, but this is not shown on the Status page as an error.  At the very
least, it would be nice to have a flag on the Status page saying "look
at the XferLog!".  As it is, I have to routinely check the XferLog of
all my hosts one-by-one, which certainly isn't the quickest way of doing
things.
