what does your console log show? (i use conslog from interex to read console
log) for my backup i receive a series of messages in the console log:

0:10/#J5680/98/STORE OPERATION IS 3% COMPLETE
0:11/#J5680/98/STORE OPERATION IS 10% COMPLETE
0:12/#J5680/98/STORE OPERATION IS 14% COMPLETE
0:13/#J5680/98/STORE OPERATION IS 17% COMPLETE
0:14/#J5680/98/STORE OPERATION IS 21% COMPLETE
0:15/#J5680/98/STORE OPERATION IS 24% COMPLETE

as well as on my $stdlist
