Perhaps something like /home/user/....../folder/file.png could be used just
so the user knows the file it is on.


Could something work out approximatly the amount of time left for the
backup.

Also, could you make it fully automated.  During a backup I left on
overnight, when I went to the machine in the morning I found a prompt asking
me to click ok to verify the backup.  Could this be set before you start the
backup so if you leave the backup running, when it is done, it is done?

Thanks

Chris
