Re: [Duplicity-talk] Verbose output/Progress & rename

rsync was already mentioned, but also:

There is no support for intelligent resume like that.

The best way to get a sense of progress is probably run run at
verbosity 5 (-v5) and, knowing the volume size (5 MB by default, or
modified with --volsize), that tells you how much data has been sent
based on the volume filename.

No.

Also be aware that you will have to re-do the full 60 GB now and then,
since it would not be recommended to keep doing incrementals
forever. Using a two-step process with rsync helps here though.
