Mounts are made to "mount points", existing directories. You must have created the /backup directory at some point.
What do you mean by "halts"? Does your computer hang, or does it panic? (You won't be able to see a panic if you are running X, do this from the console.)
You might consider installing smartmontools and reviewing what the electronics on the drive can tell you. If you do, share the output of
# smartctl -a /dev/wd1c
with us. Pipe the output to a file and attach it.
