Bug Description
I am told Simple Backup is supposed to make incremental backups but every backup it seems to make is the full size of my installed files and all end in .ful. I selected "Take full backup" only the first time and all other times have specifically left that box unchecked. If I can't make it take smaller incremental snapshots I'm going to run out of room. What can I do?!

Thank you for using SBackup and for taking the time reporting this bug.
In order to track down the cause of the problem some more information are required. Please answer the following questions:
* what distribution do you use?
* what version of sbackup is installed; from where was it installed (PPA, from source)?
* Is the bug reproducible; does it happen every time?
* is your backup destination on a local drive or remote?
* do you run sbackup as superuser (root) or as regular user?
* Do backups work in general for you?
* Do manual backups (started from Configuration GUI) work as expected?
* How do you invoke the backup process?
Thanks for your help.
