Regarding the recommendation:

> It has a gui already. No need to reinvent the wheel.
I went over the FAQ and the documentation for Delta Copy. Delta
Copy does not provide any means to continually monitor an on-going
rsync process. The most they do is:
| Question: What type of logging is available in DeltaCopy
|
| Answer: Besides the logging options available in Rsync,
| DeltaCopy provides two additional logs:
|
| deltac.log - available on DeltaCopy client
| DeltaService.log - available on DeltaCopy server
|
| deltac.log file contains information about the DeltaCopy
| client. It logs a message when a profile is run and
| notifications emails are sent to the user.
|
| DeltaService.log is available where DeltaCopy server is
| installed and contains messages when service is started or
| stopped.
|
| It is important to know that rsync supports additional logging
| that can be configured by specifying additional parameters
| either on DeltaCopy client or server. Please refer to rsync
| documentation for more information about logging options
| available for rsync.
|
| When rsync.exe is executed in the back-ground by DeltaCopy, it
| generates status messages which are sent to standard output.
| DeltaCopy captures these messages and sends them via email.
Observe that Delta Copy relies on rsync itself to provide insight
into the status of the on-going transaction.
So the question remains: In regard to output, rsync has the
following features:
a) -v option with various levels of verbosity
b) --stats
c) --log-file=foo
d) messages rsync prints to stdout
e) messages rsync prints to stderr.
Where can one find an explanation of the format, content
and interpretation of the outputs (a-e)?
Thanks,
