Before the `burp` tool gained the `-Q` option, the only way to disable the progress counter was through the configuration file. Since we do not want any output from automatic backups (except of course catastrophic failures), since it would end up being e-mailed by cron, the progress counter had to be disabled globally. This meant that on-demand runs on a terminal could not have a progress counter, which was pretty disappointing. Now that `burp` has `-Q`, this is no longer the case. Scheduled backups can run with `-Q`, but ad-hoc runs can omit it to get a progress counter. |
