Normal backup runs currently feel less transparent than dry-runs: dry-runs expose live-ish log/status feedback, while real runs can remain on a plain running state even though rsync is actively writing data.

Goal:

  • Bring normal run detail feedback in line with dry-run feedback.
  • Show live log tail for running scheduled/manual backups.
  • Show useful progress signals where available, such as incomplete snapshot size, file count, log mtime, and last progress time.
  • Enable auto-refresh by default for running runs.
  • Add a visible toggle to pause/disable auto-refresh.

Notes:

  • This should help distinguish a healthy long-running first backup from a stalled run.
  • Related but separate from bandwidth limiting for VPN links.
