Yup, that looks really handy, but it probably doesn't give an overview of the total job. the proportionality thing is what I;m more interested in.

Another trick I've often used is to run an strace command, limited to
file access, on the backuppc dump process on the server:
strace -e trace=file -p <pid>
It'll list all the files as they get written to disk. Really handy.
