Surebackup scan mode only with backup schedule

Surebackup can’t be run in the same time if the backup job is running, what about the new mode of scanning only, would it be the same?

Since the scanning job will mount the disks to perform the scan, the backupfile is locked by this process. Therefore it’ll not be possible to create an new backup in the chain during this backup I guess.

Agree with Kristof here...no way around this behavior.
