Progress bar during Backup

Open dm807cam opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Description
I have about 1 TB on my NextcloudPi instance. Running backups through the backup option on the NCP panel in the shell takes very long and I cannot verify the progress of if the backup process is still running at all.

A simple progress bar or a percentage indicator in the shell during the backup would be of immense help.

Can I please add to this: A confirmation if rsync backups were successful is also urgently needed. I am backing my instance up to another server through ssh and the rsync function but have no idea if the back was successful.

You could write your own rsync command based on the ncp shell script, but include --progress option

@sunjam I have duplicati running on the same Pi to deal with my backups for now. I just believe that if a backup feature is provided by ncp, it should be able to provide basic functions such as a progress bad and backup verification.

Hello, I would also be interested in such a feature. Same use-case basically, 1TB backup. I started a backup at 18:45 and after 6 hours (0:45 at night) it still wasn't finished, so I had to pull the plug and start fresh the second day. I don't necessarily mind waiting, but I'd like to know how long I have to wait, so I can plan accordingly. Thanks!
