Bug Description

BiT will not take incremental backups if the host, user, and/or profile fields in the profile settings are empty.

I have two profiles: An hourly backup for frequently used files and dirctories -- this one works flawslessly without problems.

The other profile is a 'complete backup' that I run every once in a while. To keep the backup path short, I had deleted the host/user/profile information in the profile settings. BiT would create the initial backup, but would report "Done, no backup needed." whenever I tried to create subsequent backups. Formatting the backup drive and starting all over did not help.

As soon as I filled in those fields, BiT started to work fine again.
