I'm going to schedule a differential backup at 01AM and transaction log backup every one hour for a database. What will happen differential backup takes too long and transaction log backup starts while differential backup still running?

Also same question but with full backups. What will happen a transaction log backup starts while the database is still in the process of making a full backup?

If it matters, the scheduled jobs are going to run as sql scripts in management->plan->Execute T-SQL Statement Task.

No concerns then. The backups can run simultaneously.
