Don't do that, TM will do the necessary itself - and in fact would have
carried on the .inprogress.

Sitting watching your backups is also a bad plan. Make sure they are
restorable, but otherwise let them be. They're like watching paint dry.

No idea as to the original issue - from the crashy System Prefs it sounds more
like something outside Time Machine though. Anything with an appropriate
timestamp in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports ?
