| Hello Faculties,
Is it necessary to set a database to RESTRICTED USER before taking
backups?

| No.
Backups are done online and normal operations can continue against it. You
will only notice it is running when it slows your server down slightly due
to the additional Disk IO.

| Naturally, that is when you use Enterprise Manager or use the built in T-SQL
backup command.
Never backup the LDF, NDF and MDF files directly using a backup software.

| Assuming that you're using the TSQL BACKUP command, then no - in MSSQL,
all types of backup can be made with the database in use. See the
Remarks section under BACKUP in Books Online.
