How to pause / stop the backup of Windows 7

I'm 250 GB of mainly files mp3 and jpeg on a 500 G USB backup hard drive. The backup has been ongoing for 48 hours now and is (according to the progress bar) 5% full. The option to display details do not display anything. I want to cancel the backup and reduce the scope of the directories backed up, but the Setup option is grayed out and I can't figure out how to cancel the backup. Can anyone help?

in the bar of windows startup, "backup" in the search box, open "Backup and Restore" and in the new window, you will have a button that will allow you to cancel the backup, but also where you can adjust the backup options
