go to /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<hostname>
and type 'ls -lart' to see which files have changed most recently.
If XferLOG.z has been updated recently (which it should have, if your backup
has been transferring files), you can run this command to see what file it's
on.

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat XferLOG.z |tail

Might be cool if the next BackupPC version could include the output of this
in the web interface somewhere.


(If you're lazy like me you'll have 'ls -lart --color' aliased to 'lart'
because you use it a lot).
