I have an external HD. After backing up to it, I like to unplug it.
However, when using the "safely remove hardware" icon, I generally get the
msg "Device cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device later".
Later, (an hour later) I get the same message.
Any thoughts?
If it's a USB drive just unplug it anyhow and see if your backup was
completed. If so ignore the buggy msg. you are getting.
