As a matter of principle: Try to backup only when your system is in a quiescent 
state. /IGNORE=INTERLOCK only means that error messages about "File is open by 
another user" will not show up. It does *not* guarantee that you will be able to 
restore a file consistent internally, or consistent with other files.
