Backup issues with windows 7

The action center keeps telling me to backup comp. I install blank dvd and proceed with backup. It takes a very long time(overnite to go from25% to 31%). What I think is happening is the dvd is filling up and there is no contingency to close of that
dvd and install another. It will not go past 31% complete no matter how long I give it. I eventuall have to stop backup and when I try to eject it I am unable.

Hi Cshep11,

What are you trying to back up (the full system image or a few files and folder)?
Time taken to backup would depend on the number of files and the size of the files.

If you have any security software installed on the computer it would take longer for the backup center to backup files.
Try to disable security software and try to take a backup and verify.

If that works fine later enable the security software.

Also try to run a Check disk for the hard drive and check if that helps
To run Check disk
1.       Open Computer by clicking the
Start button, and then clicking Computer.

2.       Right-click the hard disk drive that you want to check, and then click
Properties.
3.       Click the
Tools tab, and then, under Error-checking, click
Check Now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select
Automatically fix file system errors.
Otherwise, the disk check will simply report problems but not fix them.
To perform a thorough disk check, select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the hard disk itself, and it can take much longer to complete.
To check for both file errors and physical errors, select both
Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
4.       Click
Start.
Depending upon the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes.
For best results, don't use your computer for any other tasks while it's checking for errors.

After you perform a check disk try running the backup process and check if that helps.

Hope this information is helpful.

Check if there are memory problems

Memory management issues can also cause a BSOD in Windows 7. Thankfully, Windows 7 has a Memory Management Diagnostic tool that detects and solves problems related to system memory.

Click on the Start button on the Taskbar.
Type "Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool" or "Memory" (without quotes) in the Search box or,
Click on Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool (in the search results).
Click on "Restart now and check for problems (Recommended)".
The system will restart, and you need to follow the instructions given on the screen.
