I have 3 backup plans.
One copies files to a file server.
the other 2 copy files to a portable hard drive. (I have 3 hard drives. I change them out every day)
Things were working fine, but 2 weeks ago the backups started hanging at startup.
they never get past "starting, please wait".
any ideas on why?
what can I do to fix it?
I have deleted and re-create each of them, but the outcome is the same.

thanks for any help.
