Question about using RsyncX

I downloaded the latest version of RsyncX from Macosxlabs.org and am  using
it right now to backup a lot of data from a remote server to one of my own
over SSH.

I admit to all the various options being just a bit much for me and I
started the sync up using the gui provided, clicking my options and then
just hitting go. I set it to Maximum verbosity and it popped up a terminal
window with the proper command pre-filled in and I just authenticated sudo
and hit <return>. It seems to be going fine and I'm seeing files flying by
in the term window.

My question is this - I like how it's going right now, seeing lines of
output for every copied file flying by, but I'd ALSO like this same output
to be logged into a text file at the same time. I'm seeing a few "Permission
Denied" errors and want to later go back and grep them (gotta know what's
not backing up!!!).

I could redirect the output into a file no problem but don't know how to
"bi-direct" it to screen AND file.  Can anybody tell me how?
