When you take a backup of your disk, you can't just take a copy of the SQL database files. If you did, you could end up with an unusable backup. Instead, the backup product uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service to communicate with SQL Server. SQL then initiates a proper backup of the databases, writing them out to a virtual device that represents the target of the backup job. This is perfectly normal, and nothing to worry about.
