Question
The client wants to know the progress of a currently running backup.
Environment
OnApp 5.x / 6.x
Answer
On the backup server you can see running backups by `running`
ps aux | grep backup
This will return information on the backup processes including the backup directory, it will look something like this:
/onapp/backups/i/0/i0dypud8b12tqu
You can check the progress of the backup by running this command:
ll /onapp/backups/i/0/i0dypud8b12tqu -lah
This will return the current size of the backup, you can then compare that to the actual disk size, or better yet the size of a recent backup, to get an idea of how much left the backup task has to go.
