I get the following report after the backup is halted:

What should I do to correct this?

The problem here seems to be that one of the files in your /usr/share/icu folder -- icudt26b.dat -- is on a "bad spot" on your drive, and can't be copied. It's a rather large file, at around 9MB.

What I'd suggest, given the fact that it's a system file, is to perform an "archive-and-install" of OSX over your existing system. When done, make sure all is OK (it should be), and then remove the "Previous Systems" folder in the root of the boot drive. Then, empty your trash and try it again.

This should resolve the problem. Let me know!
