I just created a backup of  "Work:" on my public image and it created a valid archive. So in theory this should be working for you too.

I'll try backup of the whole ot like you did and see if that causes an issue. It'll take a bit longer though!

The SanDisk 32GB USB 3.0 Stick might not be big enough, the system is 57GB so maybe why its not working, I made a copy of its SD Card instead, but you need to open it up to do that, I did it that way because if the menu stops loading so does not boot you will not be able to restore the system, it needs to be running to restore with the backup option.
I used Win32 Disk Imager to copy it then copied it to another Micro SD Card (Kingston) as a backup, then put it in a SD Card adapter and stuck it on the top of the A600 GS case... :)

Unless he's filled up his SDCard with games already then 32Gb  more than enough.

Post attempt 3:

I created a backup of the whole lot. It worked for me. I was going to include a list of the archive as "evidence" but including it seem to cause an internal server error!

Looks like you are already trying my next suggestion.
