If the computer is hanging, then it's likely the problem is at a lower level than we're running. But, even if it worked, as explained in the User's Guide you cannot back up to a FAT32 formatted drive. FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit, and if you're trying to back up 80... just not going to happen.

I'm quite surprised that the drive can't be formatted as, for example, ext3. What brand of drive is it?

Hope that helps.
