restarting a root

[Travis Spence <Travis.Spence@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

As I was verifying a daily backup, the network got a little shaky and I lost my
connection.  Now I can't get the tape drive to respond.

In "Restart a terminal" I see the following process:
root      28306     ttyq5       Backup database

Is it safe to restart this?  The "root" is making me edgy.  I am not looking at the
process list in full mode.

Thanks.
