The latest release of LBackup has no configuration option available to
enabling the reporting of which files have been copied. However, such
an option would be a worth while addition.
There are already plans to include this feature in the next release of
LBackup. The feature will most likely be implemented using rsync's "--
log-file" option.
If you are interested in joining the LBackup discussion mailing list,
it would be great to further discuss your requirements, so that this
feature will actually do what you require. In addition, if you join
the LBackup announce list then you will gain access to the LBackup
beta release notifications.
Information regarding the LBackup mailing lists is available from the
following URL :

Below is a list of some rsync options which may do what you require.
> --itemize-changes output a change-summary for all updates
> --out-format=FORMAT output updates using the
> specified FORMAT
> --log-file=FILE log what we're doing to the
> specified FILE
> --log-file-format=FMT log updates using the specified
> FMT

In the mean time you could manually edit the backup script and add an
option such as "--itemize-changes". If you would like assistance with
patching your copy then please let me know.
Hope this helps.
