Syntax: WBADMIN GET STATUS

Description:  Reports the status of the currently running backup or recovery 
operation.
To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group 
or Administrators group. 

Remarks:  This command will not stop until the current backup or recovery 
operation is finished - it will continue to run even if you close the command 
window. If you want to stop the operation instead, use the WBADMIN STOP 
JOB command.
