Write the backup duration to the snapshot log

Open jondo opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I was expecting to see the overall backup duration printed somewhere at the end of the snapshot log, when switching to Filter:Informations.

I am currently using version 1.3.3-3 from the PPA on Linux Mint 21.1.

Thanks for your feedback.

I tried to add --stats to the extra rsync options in the snapshots settings "Export options" section. I saw now effect. It seems there is a bit more work to do.

One more vote for having a clear indication of the backup duration. If it's too complicated via rsync options, would at least be possible to print again the current time-of-day at the end of the task (at beginning there is the 'Take snapshot' line that provides a timestamp). Thanks!

the callback function will email you the particulars. start time to email time stamp will provide duration.
