I run restic under cron on Ubuntu. As the backup task takes several hours, it would be helpful to inspect it to determine how much progress has been made.
My understanding is restic currently only shows progress if output is to a tty.
It would be helpful if you could do something like:
- tail a logfile, i.e.
restic baclup --log=/var/log/restic.log
andtail -f restic.log
- run a command, i.e.
restic status
that prints current progress (but does not live update)
