Time is not correctly reported for more than one day lasting backup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install Flyback [I run gdebi on downloaded .deb]
2. launch it from menu (Applications/System Tools/Flyback Backup Manager)
3. Run first backup on a pretty large home dir (>300GiB)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

backing up:... > 46h. backing up:... 22h

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.6.5-1. Ubuntu 10.04.

Please provide any additional information below.

The annexed image shows the df (in KiB) for the destination partition roughly 
traced with gnuplot; the x axis reports the number of collected samples (with a 
constant 5 second period); y axis reports the df output.
Output is on a dedicated ext4 partition USB external disk.

The error appeared also in a previous attempt to perform the backup using the 
original NTFS partition, which aborted due to an IO error after about two days 
run.

Please delete this unintended duplicate: google groups reported a "server 
error, retry later" on issue 97 submission, hence I tried three times to submit 
the same issue; this was the second one... :(
