Python is right, there is no show_prefs_dialog() in the main_gui class.  I 
tried a
quick patch that seems to have worked:

On line 648 (before "def hide_window(...)") I added the following:
def show_prefs_dialog(self):
    prefs_gui(self)

It should run fine after that.  You might get an error dialog, but I think 
that's
just because the backup location hasn't been set the first time you run it.  
After
that it seems to run as advertised.

I got the same problem... Checking out the source from subversion gave the same 
issue.

I had to revert back to revision 7 (latest is 13 as of now) to get this working.

I added the work around as shown just before 648 under Ubuntu 7.10 x86 and when
running, it just sits until I control C out of it 15 minutes later.

This worked for me as well.

The fix in comment five worked for me as well on Ubuntu 7.10 -- how do I remove 
a
directory if I've already added it to the backup list, though?

Same problem as bensode - I fixed the code as detailed above but when executing 
it
simply does nothing. No GUI comes up at all.

problem cropped up on first use, before a backup location was set.

fixed in svn and v0.2.1.
