If it's a windows client and has powershell installed, you could run:

PS> Get-Process | Where { $_.Name -Eq "save" }

Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K) VM(M)   CPU(s)     Id ProcessName
-------  ------    -----      ----- -----   ------     -- -----------
    385      11    19828      17584   157     5.94  11692 save
    440      12    24072      21612   159     5.48  12192 save

If no saves are running, the list will be blank. This could be further
developed into a script/function that could actually run and wait for
the saves to finish, and then notify your admin/operator or whatever.

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.
