    1. When creating a backup, if other users log on to the application, this message is displayed: Cannot get exclusive access to the database. Please try again later. This prevents the corruption of data. After the backup process is completed, the Operation Successful message is displayed.
    Note:  Scenarios that are locked, or set to the Editable mode, are synchronized with the OLAP server. If a scenario fails to synchronize, this message is displayed: Cannot proceed with backup. There are editable scenarios which cannot be synchronized: "{0}".
