Fuseki2 backups

[Ian Dickinson <i....@gmail.com>]

Hi Andy,
For the backup tasks, is it possible that a backup could terminate
unsuccessfully? I wonder if there's a use for a status flag in the
JSON return value for tasks generally.

On backups specifically, where does the backup go to? If it's to a
specific file, do you think it would be helpful to users to show the
location of the backup file as part of the task description?

the "run/backups" directory, and that is not web accessible (security). 
  The file name is generated by Fuseki and is a timestamp.

That's a reasonable thing to want but it's not done.  I'll add it to my 
ToDo list.

And another thing :) Also thinking about the backup task specifically,
if the user sets a slow backup running, closes the server control
page, then comes back later, I can lookup in /$/tasks to see which
tasks are active or complete. But is there a way that I can show
whether dataset /foo currently has a running backup, or a recently
completed one?
