A failed backup results in parse errors

Hi,

Exception is:

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p545/lib/ruby/1.9.1/time.rb:267:in `parse': no time information in "None" (ArgumentError)

Problem is that a failed backup has no begin time, end time, as I'm not fluid in ruby I can't look for the exact code portion, I think you will be faster with that!

Here is the output from show-backup:

After removing the failed backup the status is reported as it should

Thanks for reporting. I released 0.0.14 which should fix that
