You can look at the log file which shows the start of the backup and after it completes shows the end of it
You can also wait for an email when it is complete.

Email is automatic when a backup is done , about log files you can see it in the normal log file ,

View log files ---- next , i don't remember how it is shown but you can run a backup and see.
