First of all your using a uncommon wallet, and it might be a heavy wallet.
All wallets contain a copy of the blockchain which is essential for the bitcoin network to run.
The 'blocks of transaction' might be your version of the blockchain.
Currently Blockchain is ~13Gb so I would recommend you to use a light wallet such as Multibit, these wallets are secure and doesn't take up as much space as the Blackcoin wallet you're using.
Your better off using the more common wallets:

Don't use web based wallets because they can be hacked.
To back up your wallet you just have to export it to a preferably safe location
Import a wallet to utilize it after you've export it
Good luck
BTW the first wallet startup is always the longest
