When .exe file running (it is scheduled) at the same time on database server a full database back is performed ( including master, model, msdb and our work database), also the transaction is pretty large around 360 000 records and sometimes the execution is hang for some reason (no error is reported). My question is can db backup contribute to this problem?"

Backing up a database concurrently with it being busy shouldn't be a problem - it might slow some things down a bit, but I would not have expected it to be enough to stop things working.
