In fact, I found none of those useful on the server.

I've tried this, but I get:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat: can't uncompress stdin
This is using BackupPC 3.3.0 (Debian stable)

The counter isn't really that useful, I think, especially not if it
doesn't have a "X of Y files" total that doesn't change (cf. rsync,
which is kinda useless, as the total keeps increasing).
The more I think about it, the more I want XferLOG
uncompressed/unbuffered, but also structured in a way so that it
starts a new line when it inspects a file, and then finishes the
line with details and the verdict (same, create, link, …)

What happens during those times?
