error 20 during backup to external drive

ANN_Chernoff_Al
Not applicable
When an incremental backup is run, it is sucsessful.
When I run a full backup it fails about 75% of the time w/ the following error
20: The process can not be accessed because it is in use by another process.

Any idea what the error really means and why the job is failing?
here's a copy of the job log:

Hello,
What is the data being backed up?
Please stop all antivirus scans during backup.
Please check if Backup exec database maintenance coincides with the backup, if so please change it.
