SMB can't back up open files (unless you're doing something exotic, I
suppose -- so you *should* be seeing errors whenever it comes across a
locked file, unless you've specifically excluded them.

Note that these are alphabetical, and stop at "hiberfil.sys."  You should
be getting an error on this file, since it's always open.  It looks like
SMB is silently ending at that point.
