>Does this happens everytime? 
Everytime.
Last time I successfully did an incremental backup was a couple of months ago.

>Is it reproducable?
Yes, I guess so...

>Does a minimal setup (just a few files for test purpose) work?
I tried to set up a testing profile with just a directory to backup (btw: the profile management UI is quite counterintuitive, IMHO...).
Then it happened a strange thing: it failed with the usual error massage ("Imposible completar satisfactoriamente. TAR finaizó con errores.", and the error icon in the notification bar), and after that it removed the log file, started a new backup session which finished with success.

>Does the error also encounter with 'No compression' setting?
Yes it does.
This is a log dump of that case:

>How do you invoke sbackup? As regular user or administator?
As regular user.

It's a pity because this piece of software just fit my needs (I really don't have the time to write my own scripts...).
I guess there's something wrong with my setup... I'll try to remove-purge and then re-install it all... Or launch the tar command from console and see its real error log...
I'll let you know if I discover something useful...
