And to take a flat file backup of SQL databases, you would need to either stop the SQL services before the backup or disable active file exclusion.

The original poster asked about the ability to backup files created by SQL's own backup/dump database facility. You do not have to stop SQL services or change AFE settings to backup these files. You only need to make these sorts of changes to backup the actual MDF and LDF files etc.

Error acknowledged. Or rather my error in interpreting the OP's query. Thanks for the feedback & minuses.
