I can't seem to get my 3G to update to iOS 4. It keeps getting stuck at the backup. I know it's supposed to take a while, but after many failed attemps on multiple computers, I let it run overnight (over 8 hours) and it still was stuck at the backup portion this morning.

I have no problems doing normal backups and did one this morning. But the backup from iOS 4 won't run for some reason.

Anyone have any suggestions? And if at all possible, I really, really don't want to lose my text messages, contacts, game saves, passwords, etc. I've already stripped it down as much as possible. I currently have no music, videos and have gotten rid of as many apps as possible.
