If you want to check the processes running on your SQL server you can find all the info you need in sys.dm_exec_requests.
SELECT command, s.text, start_time, percent_complete, CAST(((DATEDIFF(s,start_time,GetDate()))/3600) as varchar) + ' hour(s), ' + CAST((DATEDIFF(s,start_time,GetDate())%3600)/60 as varchar) + 'min, ' + CAST((DATEDIFF(s,start_time,GetDate())%60) as varchar) + ' sec' as running_time, CAST((estimated_completion_time/3600000) as varchar) + ' hour(s), ' + CAST((estimated_completion_time %3600000)/60000 as varchar) + 'min, ' + CAST((estimated_completion_time %60000)/1000 as varchar) + ' sec' as est_time_to_go, dateadd(second,estimated_completion_time/1000, getdate()) as est_completion_time FROM sys.dm_exec_requests r CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(r.sql_handle) s |
In the example below you can see that there is a back-up running that about 17% completed and a estimated duration
