how to monitor a backup process
i ran a backup process that is been running for 4 hours on a 400 GB database , the command i used was
nohup /opt/vertica/bin/vbr.py --task backup --config-file /home/dbadmin/Backup_Full20162502.ini
am connected to the server through putty ,
i lost my connection an hour after the backup was running but logged in again and i can see the process when running ps - eah
now i dont see it running anymore , and when i run a query to database_snapshots the query doesnt finish it just hang there .
how can i make sure that the backup is running and whats the approximate time for it to finish ?

Hi ,
Looks like you have some kind of global catalog lock , check your locks table to verify what is being locked , you may also see some useful info with regard to your backup process .
You can also query your sessions table , to see if your backup is still active
Thanks
