After 36 hours and three failed attempts, I finally finished my first SuperDuper! backup. The first attempt, at work, threw an error after a few hours while I was trying to backup to our main network data drive. The second was at home, trying to backup over the network to the USB drive linked to my Windows PC, which threw an error at about 3.9 GB. For the third attempt, I brought the USB drive downstairs and hooked it directly to my machine. It stalled, throwing no error, at about 4GB. I assumed at this point that the troll stopping my backup was the ~ 4 GB file size limit on FAT32 drives, so I moved everything off the USB drive, repartitioned and reformatted it into HFS+, and it finally worked like a charm.
Was I doing anything obviously wrong, other than trying to break the rules of the FAT32 file system (and is that really where the problem was)? If you know anything about it, leave me a comment. Thanks!

According to my computer sensai Tim, that seemed to be the only thing you were doing wrong.
