After installing this plug-in, I have tried to use it several times without success. I set up the buck-up timer at different times, but It simply doesn't work. My Dropbox account is correctly linked. This is what I got:

16:10:35: A fatal error occured: The backup is having trouble uploading files to Dropbox, it has failed 10 times and is aborting the backup. 16:10:35: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\es_ES.po' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:34: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\es_ES.mo' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:34: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\continents-cities-es_ES.po' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:33: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\continents-cities-es_ES.mo' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:33: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\admin-network-es_ES.po' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:32: Approximately 1% complete. 16:10:31: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\admin-network-es_ES.mo' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:30: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\admin-es_ES.po' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:30: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\languages\admin-es_ES.mo' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:29: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\index.php' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:27: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\backups\db_alexprellezo-backup-plugins.sql.19459841fd4fea9969ab8a4c7575ff15a587aa84-wpb2d-secret' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:27: Error uploading 'C:\HostingSpaces\euronet\alexprellezo.com\wwwroot\web\wp-content\backups\db_alexprellezo-backup-core.sql.19459841fd4fea9969ab8a4c7575ff15a587aa84-wpb2d-secret' to Dropbox: Error Processing Request: failed creating formpost data 16:10:24: Creating SQL backup of your WordPress plugins. 16:10:24: Creating SQL backup of your WordPress core. 16:10:07: Your time limit is 900 seconds and your memory limit is 400M 16:10:07: Backup started on Wednesday July 10, 2013.

That looks like it's an error with cURL. What version of PHP and cURL do you have installed?

I have also updated your title to a more descriptive one. :-)

I have this exact problem.

PHP Version 5.2.17 cURL support enabled cURL Information libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8q zlib/1.2.3

The last successful backup I had was several versions ago. Unfortunately, I don't know the versions but it was on 12/20/12 and I keep up to date every month or so.
