That build is extremely old and I don't support it any more. Please could 
you try the latest one?

ExtendedLogging may not help you much here, it's a protocol log rather 
than a file access log. If the latest build doesn't give you better error 
messages, please report whatever it does tell you (especially the file and 
line number of the exception report) and try setting LogAllFileAccess = 
yes and run bbackupd with the -V option.

To the console, if you run it from the console, and to the Windows event 
log in any case (which you can view with Event Viewer). But detailed 
logging is suppressed in newer builds unless you run with the -V option.

That was a kind of bug (or paranoid behaviour) in older versions, now 
hopefully fixed.

Cheers, Chris.
