Some programs will actually shut down databases to run the backup. This could only take a few minutes, but you may want to ask the people running the backup what could be the cause.

I know we have modules for backing up DB's with our software. But there are a great many software that companies will use to run thier backups that may not have that feature.

I hope you don't run into this problem too often.

Cheers!
