You'll have to write your own wrapper for that, and backuppc doesn't
really have a concept of how much more it has to do until it is
finished. Looking at the host summary page in a web browser is about
the best you can do.
But, as long as you run openvpn over UDP there's not much overhead.
In fact if you enable lzo compression it is probably an overall win.
