My biggest complaint about BackupPC (and I have few), is that both
backups and restores show nothing when in progress. At least with rsync.
I'd prefer something like a way to see the last 10 files copied, or
something, just to see what it is doing.

Gimili, you can run this on the target machine:

for i in `ps -ef | grep rsync | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2};'` ; do
lsof -n | grep $i ; done

This will list all open files currently in use by any processes named
"rsync". A few of those will be the files currently being read or
written. You can use this to see what is happening.

I had a problem recently where rsync restores failed if they ran longer
than 12 seconds or so. The problem turned out to be /tmp having the
wrong permissions. Make sure it is mode 1777 (rwxrwxrwt).

Regards,
Tyler
