+1 for this issue. Not having a reliable way to check a background backup's progress in Gnome is a huge bummer!

It seems that a permanent notification should appear (https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/668160), but as per Deja-dup 34.2 and Gnome 3.20.1 I see nothing.

Users can only wait passively until a completion notification arrives, and not being able to know the backup operation's state can lead to inadvertently shut down the machine - invalidating the whole backup.
