I occasionally take a snapshot of production and restore it to my development server. (Not only for new development, but also to test the snapshot/restore process.)

Is there a way to get more focused information on the state of the recovery besides "GET \_recovery"? Picking through the response to figure out what's still being recovered gets old.

It would be super-great if there is an option to tell me "what is still undergoing recovery, and what state is it in".

Unfortunately there is not. Please do feel free to raise a feature request on Github with what you'd like to see 🙂
