They can check to see if there is a "save" process running.

Subject: [Networker] Detect backup activity from clients

Hi.

Is there some easy way to let administrators of networker clients detect

wheter or not a backup is running?

I would be nice if an administrator of a NW client could decide if he
can 
e.g. reboot the server or anything else for that matter.

I wonder if there is a way to do this in such a way that a novice admin
can 
do this.
