Get backup status via command

As an admin I need a command (e.g. tell backup status) to see the status of a backup job, so that I don't have to use the "show tasks" command and scroll for the needed entry.

At the moment I can only check the backup process with "show task" command like these examples:

sh ta o
[0A68:008D-1CFC] 08.06.2026 11:29:55   Remote console command issued by Admin/ACME: sh ta o
[0A68:0008-1AF0]       Task                 Description
[0A68:0008-1AF0]  Backup               Backup [19/115] apps\app01.nsf

sh ta o
[0A68:008D-1CFC] 08.06.2026 11:29:55   Remote console command issued by Admin/ACME: sh ta o
[0A68:0008-1AF0]       Task                 Description
[0A68:0008-1AF0]  Backup               Backup Prune

    Based on the previous comment, I'm closing this idea as "already exists"

    That's not really a productivity feature IMHO. This is just convenience.
    But there is a new filter which has been added to the show task command:


    TASKS DESC [desc name] Shows the tasks that match the given description
    TASKS NAME [task name] Shows the tasks that match the given name

    The result looks like this for the backup task:



    show task name backup
    Task                 Description
    Backup Backup [105/345] domlog.nsf


    I think this is more helpful then adding it to the backup task.
