# backup hangs, no error

 * Version 1.16.60
    For the second time, a backup has hung, with no errors or warnings
   in the log file. Last log message indicates it was working on the 4th uploads
   zip file (there should be 6 total). It started at 6:16, the last message was 
   at 6:16, it’s now 7:25. Since there’s no way to cancel it, will it still be using
   resources? Does the process stop eventually? No status bar displaying, so couldn’t
   stop it. It also happened some days ago, but there has been at least one successful
   backup since. No zip files uploaded to googledrive
 * Since there was an update waiting, updated to 1.16.61.
    Started new backup at
   7:30 at 7:52 got this message “Failed to get backup job lock; possible overlapping
   resumptions – will abort this instance (Aug 30 07:51:23)” So, I don’t know if
   the first backup, started at 6:16 is still running?
 * If there is no “completed” message, and no “failed” message for the first instance,
   how do I know if it has stopped?
