Request - verbose mode or similar?
 

There is a couple of things I occasionally like to know while a backup is in progress - which file is being copied, and the actual transfer speed rather than effective speed... Is it possible to incorporate this sort of thing somewhere please?

It's something I've considered.

One reason I ask for this info is that I've had smart updates where I'm sure the transfer has hung for some reason, as it is taking forever, the effective copy speed gives little useful info, it just gradually decreases, but gives the impression it is still going....

Yes, we update the bytes copied, even mid-copy, for that reason. But, nothing happens onscreen when files are being deleted, actually - something I'm looking at improving (without scaring people - we're concerned putting the deleted files on the screen will scare people unnecessarily).
