See the documentation of the Copy Serialization values Dynamic and Shared 
Dynamic.
Obviously, though, the backup image of a file which is changing during the 
backup will be of little value to later restoral needs, and so having such a 
serialization setting in effect for all files, in the Copy Group definition, is 
hazardous.  It is better to employ Shared Static and a reasonable 
Changingretries value, to retry files which are in the process of being 
written, and skip those that are hopelessly busy.
