Determining Backup or Restore Percent Complete in SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005

Determining Backup or Restore Percent Complete in SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005

If you want to see how far along your restore or backup is then you can do this... 

select  percent_complete
from sys . dm_exec_requests
where session_id = 53

This is in addition to the STATS = n option on the BACKUP/RESTORE commands.

Hi Tony

I hope you are doing well.

This is also true for those operations

DBCC CHECKDB

DBCC SHRINKDATABASE

DBCC SHRINKFILE

ROLLBACK

--Index Defrag

SELECT   r.percent_complete,

  estimated_finish_time = DATEADD(MILLISECOND, estimated_completion_time, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),  

t.[text]FROM   sys.dm_exec_requests AS r CROSS APPLY  

sys.dm_exec_sql_text(r.[sql_handle]) AS t WHERE   r.session_id = <SPID>;
