It's not what I've experienced!

In my experience, as soon as there is some new data coming in the DB, the .backup command will continue, and if the writes are not stopping, the backup will never stop as well :D

In Gladys case, we put in the application logic a blocking transaction to lock writes during the backup. I haven't found any other way to avoid infinite backups in case of write-heavy databases
