[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1657783"] OK, that's better! I think I understand now. The first thing I would do is open Disk Utility and repair permissions on the hard drive (assuming it's the boot hard drive). Then try another backup. If that doesn't fix the issue, then about all I can suggest is that you select half of what's in BDMV (assuming that is the name of the folder holding the data) and try copying that. If it succeeds, you know the problem file is in the OTHER half of the folder. If it stalls with the error, try copying half of that half. The idea is to try to find the one file that isn't readable/writable. By halving the folder, finding which half has the problem, then halving that and so on, repeating until you get it down to the one bad file, you can then copy everything BUT that one bad one. It's a PITA, but it should work. [/QUOTE]
