Site down after backup started via Magento Admin

I used the backup section of our store on Magento community edition to back up. The site is showing in maintenance mode even after 10 mins. Can't login to the Magento admin as well.

The site and admin both show: 

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

What do I do?

Hi @vsahdevusgf3be 

Login to your server and delete .maintenance.flag file from the <magento_application_root>/var

directory.

Thanks

I figured it on my own. Your forum response time was way too late.
