Not exactly sure what you're looking for but you can set the task up to
write it's output to a file. For example c:\filename.log
Then all you have to do is watch the file date and time of

You should be able to use any backup software which handles open files
If you turn off 'Maintain DB Connections' in the CF Admin Panel, you won't
have the lock file problem, or you can run a bogus query on the database
right before you copy the database... should unlock it.
That would apply to moving the file... just running a backup on it shouldn't
be a problem.

Make sure there are no characters after the cfcontent other than the
generated xml. This means no spaces or line breaks between cfcontent and
cfoutput.
Looks like you may have a space, but it might be the cftalk html formatting.
