backup hangs with 19ish minutes left

Thread needs solution

Sorry, folks, if this has been covered already. I've looked 'til I'm going blind. My TI Home 2011 starts a full backup of both my hard disks normally, says it'll take 1:45, but when it gets to 19 or 20 minutes remaining, time remaining stays at 19 or 20 for good. There seems to be HDD activity, but it never ends. Only way I can stop is to force a stop, and then it says the backup failed. I'm stumped.

Made sure there was room on backup target - didn't help. Anyone got any ideas? Or do I have to pay money to get software I paid money for to do what it's supposed to do? Build 6696. XP Home SP3. Any help greatly appreciated.

As for the unwanted disk activity, check your Windows scheduler and things such as your virus or malware and wee if they are running a scheduled scan.

You can also perform manual backups by booting into the TI Rescue CD. This is a good practice anyway occasionally so you know your CD can see all your drives, etc.
