I have a few databases with full text index in spanish. Every time I
try to do a backup of these databases, be it through SSMS or a script,
full or filegroup, backups never finish until I kill or stop the full
text indexing service. Once I stop it the backup finishes correctly.

I thought that the filegroup backup did not back up full text indexes
and see no reason for the full text to hang the backup if it isn't
grabbing the index file...

How to debug/fix this?

Thanks,
Vinko.
