    You could search the task.with nstaskstatus attribute.<br>
    <br>
    $ ldapsearch -LLLx -h localhost -p &lt;port&gt; -D 'cn=directory
    manager' -w &lt;pw&gt; -b "cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config"
    "(cn=backup_*)" nstaskstatus<br>
    <br>
    When the task is done, you'll see the "Backup finished." status:<br>
    dn: cn=backup_2012_4_5_9_35_35,cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config<br>
    nstaskstatus: Backup finished.<br>
    <br>
    Another way would be checking the errors log, which logs the end of
    the back up.<br>
