SQL Server: Script to find Estimated Finish Time of The Backup Database

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

In this post, I am providing a SQL Script to find Estimated Finish Time for the action of the SQL Server Backup Database.

When I am doing any act like backup and restore, I keen to know the estimated completion time.
This is also one of the valuable information for organization and related clients to take decision for maintenance time.

Using SQL Server sys.dm_exec_requests, we can estimate the finish time. We can also populate completed and estimated percentage.

You can execute below query while the Database Backup is running. You can find a record like BACKUP COMMAND.

SELECT
session_id
,percent_complete AS CompletedPercent
,DATEADD(MILLISECOND,estimated_completion_time,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS EstimatedFinishTime
,(total_elapsed_time/1000)/60 AS TotalElapsedTimeInMIN
,DB_NAME(Database_id) AS DatabaseName
,command
,sql_handle
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests
WHERE command LIKE '%BACKUP DATABASE%'

    I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog.
    Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
    Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog
    like this one today.
