No, the backup process has many flush();
calls in it, precisely so that the output is sent out progressively.
If you're not getting progressive output it is because your webserver (apache) or some proxy in the middle is configured to not let you send small packets of info.
No matter what, if there is a problem, you will see it at the end even if you don't get progressive/real time udpating.
I don't want to make the backup more complex than it needs to be. Ajax would only introduce additional failure points.
Yep, we should send an AJAX call and display its output instead of locking down the main screen.
