Fulltext process prevents backups completing

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,

I think you should open a case with CSS/PSS.

The full-text population should pause momentarily during the backup process,
but it should not cause either to hang.
