Well just as the error message says, the backup file was
in use by another process. You should find out what this
other process was so that you can prevent it from locking
your backup file and causing the backup to fail.
The simplest way to find out what process may be holding
your backup file open -- when the backup job starts -- is
to use the command line utility nthandle.exe from
www.sysinternals.com. Add a step before the backup step in
the same job to run
cmd>nthandle.exe <yourBackupFileName>,
and make sure that the output report is specified for the
step so that you can review it to see what process is
putting a handle on the file, if the backup step fails
again.
With nthandle.exe, you don't need to specific the whole
backup file name. The some leading portion of it would
suffice.
