+Bugfix: backup: Remove bandwidth display
+
+This commit removes the bandwidth displayed during backup process. It is
+misleading and seldomly correct, because it's neither the "read
+bandwidth" (only for the very first backup) nor the "upload bandwidth".
+Many users are confused about (and rightly so), c.f. #1581, #1033, #1591
+
+We'll eventually replace this display with something more relevant when
+the new archiver code is ready.
