You (your operations staff, your administrators, whoever) are the only one among us who has any clue. If your backup shuts off interactive access, it’ll probably start it back up when it finishes. Two hours? Six hours? Whatever it usually takes.

Most sites would have either joblogs or history logs that would indicate how long.

The suggestion to logon at the console might be worthwhile for peace of mind. Or it might be needed if your backup really doesn’t include starting things back up.
