I use rsyncd to backup both, windows as well as linux clients.
Is it possible to examine or calculate the progress of an actual running
backup?
One Idea would be to calculate the duration of the last backups and assume
the actual backup will have the same performance. But this can be wrong if
some new (big) files had been added.
Another Idea is to examine the filespace of the share and calculate the
estimated duration based on the last transfer rates. But this can be wrong
if some (big) files are in the exclusion list.

Any Ideas?
br and have a great new year!
Matthias
