Thanks. I ended up doing that. I had to disconnect the external drive and reconnect it. When I did, the partition I was trying to back up to (one of three on the drive) didn't appear. So I erased the partition and set it up again. I tried backing up once more and it stalled again.
This time I completely erased the entire drive, ran disk repair (no issues noted) and then re-partitioned the drive.
When I ran the backup routine, the first two partitions backed up fine (including the one I was having problems with before), but the third partition stalled.
Do you think something is wrong with this drive? I'm not sure how to find out. Disk Repair doesn't reveal any problems, but this is strange.
