The database files are locked by the MS SQL Server. In order to backup these files and avoid data corruption, it is necessary to perform these actions:
1) Stop the MS SQL Server.
2) Perform the backup.
3) Restart the MS SQL Server.

Have a look on these links (you may get good knowledge on backup process)
