How to know if backup completed?

Hello,
I am writing a small bash script which shall copy zimbra's backup to external storage. For this script to run, I want to know, if zmbackup puts any ~.lock etc anywhere (or something like that) by which my script can know whether backup is running or completed.

I would recommend using the zmbackupquery command as part of your scripts to check if the backup is completed.
