Hi JLR1234,
Which version of QuickBooks are you using?
Since when are you facing the issue?
Method 1:
You may update the QuickBooks version to the latest available and check if this helps.
Also I would suggest you to put the computer in clean boot state and after that check if any non-Microsoft service is interfering with the processes –
To perform the clean boot follow the step 1 mentioned in the below article and then try to do the back up in this clean boot state -

If the issue gets resolved check which non-Microsoft service is causing the problem; referring to the article and following other steps.
After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
- Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
- On the General tab, click the Normal Startup option, and then click OK.
- When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Restart.
Method 2:
