I did a 'vacuum analyze;' while one of the large full monthly backups is
running. Had it corrected the cause of the problem that backup would
have finished, but it's still running.

I really don't think it's the db, as it's hardly breaking a sweat:

        > ps auxww | grep ^postgres
        postgres  3776  0.0  0.0  20424  2760 ?        S    Aug02   0:00 
/usr/bin/postmaster -p 5432 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
        postgres  3778  0.0  0.0  10200   632 ?        S    Aug02   0:00

The bconsole 'status' command only shows that a backup is running. Are
there some other ways I can observe what bacula is doing?

Thanks.
