It's possible. I can't think of a reason to recommend it unless you
especially needed to prevent any changes (for example if you were backing up
in advance of an upgrade or planning to decommission the original database).

Tx for your response.
I completely understand and accept that there is no need to do a
backup in single user mode, but for one case if the server is already
in single user mode ..
Here is what I found, in SQL 2000 it was possible to do the
backups(in single user mode) while the SQL 2005 server fails to accept
the connection for backup (the same code/binary SQL-DMO statements are
used for both).
Are there any major changes between SQL server 2000 and SQL server
2005 ?

Just to emphasize what David said: Yes, it's possible, but the only reason
you would do it, is because you have already put the database insingle-usermode. That is, it's works perfectly well to have backups running with
users active.

Hmm, you sure you don't something else already making a connection?

Yes. Many changes. But I don't know any specifically that would cause this
particular issue.

Well, DMO became dusty and old with SQL 2005, and it's possible
that DMO somehow manages to cause double connections.
I've always stayed away from DMO (and its successor SMO), so I cannot
really say much more.
