Quiet

The quiet option limits the number of messages that are displayed on your screen during processing..

For example, when you run the incremental, selective, or archive commands, information might appear about each file that is backed up. Use the quiet option if you do not want to display this information

When you use the quiet option, error and processing information appears on your screen, and messages are written to log files. If you do not specify quiet, the default option, verbose is used.
