macOS hangs on backup

I am trying to back my MBP to external hdd with Time Machine.
It is going to 27GB then entire system stop responding, mouse not moving then black screen.
I am trying few times and the same result after 27GB.


Then I am trying same thing with same hdd on my wife's MBP and everything ok.
So I think it is not an issue with hdd

My environment:

MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.5 15" Mid-2014 (MGXC2)

macOS 10.12.6 with all updates installed

HDD: Seagate Backup Plus Portable 2TB, it is brand new empty and formatted just before backup


Here is log
