Hi Gigi, The easiest way to see the progress your Time Machine backup is to go up to the Time Machine status menu. Simply press VO-m twice to access the Status menus, then navigate right until VO says something about Time Machine then use your down arrow to see what's happening with your Time Machine backups. Vo will announce within that menu whether Time Machine is currently backing up and tell you how much out of how much is done or will announce when the last successful backup occurred.
