I just installed a fresh version of 17.10 and want to set up a backup folder with the pre installed tool.
As the default settings, it saves the /home directory and ignores the trash and ~/Downloads.
I set the backup location to var/backups.
When starting the first backup, it stops after a few seconds and prints out this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

What am I doing wrong?
