Feature request: nice readable backup summary print

[mrlee14]

personalty would appreciate summary at the and of backup, in a simple readable text format, of what was done so far, the essential details....

[aawsome]

@mrlee14 Can you please give some more details? What kind of information are you missing?

Do you know about rustic backup --json and rustic snapshots --long / rustic snapshots --json?

OK, I see all details and so on.., maybe the option to disable '[INFO]' lines on cli backup cmd and print only 'backing up...' lines, less verbose, its perhaps already configurable?...

@mrlee14 I already heard other users that the output verbosity should be discussed and maybe changed. So far, you can use --level= to set the output verbosity, the default is info. Do you think we should start a discussion about better verbosity and better defaults?

About the summary output: We can easily add a --long option to the backup command which would output the summary like snapshots is currently doing. Would you see this as valuable?

Yes, I think this would be very interesting to have at the bottom of backup, nicely formatted…
