Backup Jobs Locking ?

When you run a Backup Job (Database or TRN), is the database locked during the database?

If yes, to what extent?

Thanks

There are no locks that are not compatible with any user locks, but only those which could prevent database from deletion, for example.

Backup Getting locked

Hello, I do a full backup daily on a user database. I received an error
telling we the backup failed. (Operating system error = 32(The process
cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)). How
can I tell what process is locking the file?
