Hi ,
Are you taken backup successfully , if not pls check below things.
1,tablespace PSAPSR3 is already in backup status, This error usually occurs when you are running an Online Backup and because of some previous failed backups the table spaces are still under back up status.
pls check if any backup is running or not
ps -ef|grep brbackup .
2 , check any lock file is created under oracl/SID/sapbackup if s remove lock file from the directory .
3 , login into DB
