Multiple problems on Linux Mint

The following user review appears in webpages devoted to Linux Mint (https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/sbackup):

'Manual backup does not run, and the status indicator does not appear. Note on the non-admin. version that the default directory to backup is /home/user/. But the default destination is /home/user/.local/share/sbackup/backups. You need to change the default destination to avoid making backups of your backups.'

I find, on Miny 18 (Cinnamon edition - with sbackup 0.11.6), that the problems still obtain. The failure to run backups manually when requested is pretty severe. I am about to uninstall the program - though I'd rather not have to.
