I have 117 GB on HD. I try to backup on an external 160GB HD. External I believe is formatted correctly with share permissions. I also tried without copying the system image. I sometimes get as far as 61% before it freezes forcing me to hardboot. Thanks, Max

Go to
Application and Service Logs\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup\ActionCenter
and post any error messages.
I did that Mjf and posted it. The error I think was in Windows logs/Application -- 0x80041003. Thanks again MJF
Try running
sfc /scannow
from an elevated command prompt.
If you have system file errors you may need to run this more than once.
Posting all the error info may help us give you better suggestions.
I tried to run sfc/scannow from an elevated prompt, but it gave me the message to run in a console session. Sorry, I don't know what that is. The following, I believe is the error. Thanks --- Log Name: System

Well, I found this error also. --The backup location cannot be found or is not valid - 0x81000006.
First off
To open an elevated command prompt
Elevated Command Prompt
Then type
sfc /scannow
Be patient because it could take awhile.
You should check your internal and external HDDs. You could use the manufacturer's diagnostic tools. Alternatively, you can run the Windows diagnostic described in this tutorial
Disk Check
You also need to clarify what sort of backup you are attempting. I assumed it was a system image.
I consider 117 GB on the large side for imaging in a reasonable time. Try putting static data on another partition.
Your destination ext HDD is also on the small side. Have you considered getting a larger ext HDD, say at least 500GB?
Frankly MJF, I'm fed-up. I've wasted way too many hours trying to fix this problem. The error - 0x81000037 was determined by Microsoft Support to be an error with a reparse point. I tried to go the junction files listed in DIR/AL/S to remove them, and the files listed could not be found in my system. Oh, I also ran sfc/scannow as you told me and it said that there were no integrity violations. Max
