[NTLK] NCX backup interruption

[Doctor Clu]

Greetings Steffen, my take is I'd try again a few times.  I've noticed 
with each time the Newton builds more of the backup until finally a 
complete backup is made.  First time you do a backup will take longer 
than later backups because it builds on previous backups, adding what 
has changed to the later backups.

So if at first it does not backup, try again.  And if it continues to 
freeze at a certain point, note where it is freezing and not advancing 
past and let us know.

With the latter the connection is more stable though. I tested it on a M1 Mac and an old MacBook Pro. Same problem.
