[gpfsug-discuss] mmbackup feature request

[Stephan Graf]

Hi

I think it should be possible because mmbackup know, how many files are 
to be backed up, which have been already processed and how many are 
still to go.

BTW it would also be nice to have an option in mmbackup to generate 
machine readable log file like JSON or CSV.

But the right way to ask for a new feature or to look if there is 
already a request open is the IBM IDEA portal:
