Not realy, not yet. But it will counted during backup and BackupPC_dump get 
them at the end of an backup:
        my @results = $xfer->run();
        $tarErrs       += $results[0];
        $nFilesExist   += $results[1];
        $sizeExist     += $results[2];
        $sizeExistComp += $results[3];
        $nFilesTotal   += $results[4];
        $sizeTotal     += $results[5];

Furthermore BackupPC_dump use eventhandler like:
$SIG{TTIN} = \&catch_signal;

So it should be no problem to add an additional eventhandler
$SIG{IO} = \&write_status;

which than will collect the actual transfer rates and write them into a 
file.
But maybee - it is possibly a problem to write in a file if the event occurs 
during writing in a file.

Any Ideas?
