Some minor issue, just to let you know.
When a backup fails due to an error, the directory (with timestamp) is already created but left empty. However the empty backup is not registered in the tasks history despite "Save empty backups" in engine settings is checked.
It would be more logical if either the empty directory of a failed backup is deleted or, i think better, the failed backup is registered in the history a failed backup.
