Problem:

While backing up DEV1 instance on Windows 2008, the following error appears:

C:oracleDEV1instappsDEV1_ittl-hrmstestappltmpOFF446.tmp
Sharing violation

Solution:

Ensure that the Oracle processes are stopped in Windows Services.

It appears that there are still (orphan) database processes running. Right click the Taskbar and open Task Manager. Select the Processes tab. From the View menu, click Select columns. In Select Process Page Columns, scroll down the list and check Command Line. Delete any processes that start with C:oracleDEV1.
