Lately, when I try to Backup my files using the Backup utility, the archive won't close at the end of the process. It gets stuck there, and I end up having to Force Quit to even shut down the computer. It happens with all the plans. I've attached a screen shot. It is stuck closing the backup for my Personal Data & Settings. How do I fix this issue? Thanks.

May just force quit and back up again.

This is a good question. I am backing up to an external drive. I have already tried to Force Quit and start over. The problem always comes in closing the backup. If it has reached that stage, Force Quit is the only way to stop. I cannot stop that individual plan by clicking on the X, nor can I Quit the application normally. I can't even shut down the computer until I have used Force Quit to exit BackUp.
I am going to try to delete all existing backups on that drive. If that doesn't work, I am going to try using another drive. I'll let you know what happens.
Have you checked the developer's web site/support to see if anyone else is having this problem/has found a solution?
I am backing up to another location. I was using a networked drive. I am able to back up to a local drive. It's not a great solution, but it resolves the problem for now.
Backup utility won't close
