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:

* 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?
* Did you tried to use the latest version of sbackup 0.11.4 from our PPA?

Moreover, please add a debug log file, if possible.

Thanks for your help.

as soon as I changed options to no compression, the problem disappeared, so it seems to be a problem with compression.
