I got the same error, and although I don't claim to know if this really
helped, I found that line 258 (done) isn't paired with any begin loop.
I commented that line out, and it seems to work now.

Warning:  I'm not advocating this change--I'm just saying that it seemed
to fix the problem for ME. (BTW this is /usr/bin/backup, not the one
in the sysadm menu tree)
