Not sure what email you wanted. But my issue has been open for weeks, tech folks logged onto my computer, took files but no solution to issue of clicking gear icon on backup and crashes. Backup is NOT running on my PC yet

Is this fixed? Support gave me old version of software and froze it there so I can’t do updates until it’s fixed. Been nearly 6 months
