How can I see progress in BackupLoupe?
I like to use BackupLoupe to locate the files I want to restore and not actually do the lifting.

Once you have a Finder window - you could use Finder to show you the progress of the copy or even use a tool custom designed for syncing folders that can be paused / stopped / resumed.


http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com does file merges primarily but it's also nice for syncing folders
https://www.panic.com/transmit/ is another wizard level program for managing files and copying them - it's also not exclusively for local copies but does that well.

So in a nutshell, get a file moving tool and let BackupLoupe do the indexing / searching is my advice.
