Answer 1

BACKUP DATABASE does this:

SQL Server uses an online backup process to allow a database backup while the database is still in use. During a backup, most operations are possible; for example, INSERT , UPDATE , or DELETE statements are allowed during a backup operation.

Operations that cannot run during a database or transaction log backup include:

• File management operations such as the ALTER DATABASE statement with either the ADD FILE or REMOVE FILE options.
• Shrink database or shrink file operations. This includes auto-shrink operations.
