Sorry (especially on a first post to the list), but this fix looks wrong to me. Since reporting it, I’ve been trying to work out what the intention was a bit more.

self._backupsfile.write("%s\0%s\0%s\0%d\n" % entry)
self._backupsfile.flush()
We can see from the first line that ‘entry' is a tuple when called, which contains something called ‘file’ (which I think is a string containing a path). This function used was refactored out of the end of the previous one, so I think it’s safe to say ‘file’ should be replaced with the second member of ‘entry’, not ‘entry’ itself.
I still have no clue what the structure that’s created is used for though. Doesn’t seem to have caused many issues being busted.
