Input Add Detailed Duration, Transfer Speed, and Historical Metrics to Backup Manager

[javcove]

It would be very helpful if Backup Manager displayed detailed performance metrics for each completed backup, especially for remote backups.

Problem

Currently, admins cannot see how long a backup took, how fast it transferred, or how its performance compares to previous runs. This makes it difficult to plan backup windows, detect bottlenecks, or monitor remote backup speed.

Proposed Improvements

Add a "Details" section for each completed backup showing:
• Total backup duration
• Average transfer speed (remote backups)
• Incremental data size (for incremental backups)
• Size before/after compression

Optional enhancements:
• Historical averages (last 7 / 30 backups)
• Per-stage timing (compression, packaging, transfer, verification)
• Export to CSV/JSON or API endpoint
• Alerts when duration or speed deviates from normal

Benefits
• Easier scheduling of backups based on real performance
• Faster detection of network or storage issues
• Better capacity planning for incremental data growth
• Improved visibility for hosting providers and large environments

Have you tried the Backup Telemetry extension? It gives you access to detailed metrics of each backup.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

I wasn't aware of the Backup Telemetry extension, and it's exactly what I was looking for. I just installed it and it provides all the detailed metrics I needed.

Really appreciate your help!
