I've seen this one a few times - it's caused by the existence of a "lockfile" on the client-side activity history database that the SQL Backup Console uses. Since you can only have one console per user session, it assumes that if there is a lockfile present, the user is already running SQL Backup Console.
Please check %userprofile%\appdata\local\red gate\sql backup for a file called lockfile.pid. If it exists, delete it or check that it is not being locked by an anti-virus scan. If not, ensure you have full rights to the folder.
There isn't any file named lockfile.pid in the location %userprofile%\appdata\local\red gate\sql backup. I checked with system administrator that anti virus isn't blocking.
When i looked at the task manager-->processes i can see that the redgate bakcup GUI is running in the background. After i killed the process i can able to open the redgate GUI.
Wasn't sure why it didn't stop the processes when i close the GUI. Is there a permission issue? But i was able to kill the redgate process using the same login.
I should be able to interpret this and at least tell you what backup is doing.

I can't say for sure with which way the problem occur for now.
To solve it I use the task manager to kill the running process.
