Re: windows 7 backup freezing at 13% on HP Pavilion g6 Notebook

I understand Windows Backup stops at 13%.

The issue in the following thread appears to be similar. What fixed it for them was turning off system restore (system restore), rebooting, enabling it, and rebooting one final time.

I would try these steps to see if it helps any.
