Testing with an exFAT partition, and I'm getting same issue. It depends on exFAT but exFAT is not the culprit. The problem is that XBian-config GUI sends wrong filename, no idea why, nothing changed for years [1]

Will have to investigate what's going on, being quite confused

[1] Filename for example is /media/exFAT/$\(hostname\)_xbian_image_$\(date\ +%F\).img for example, '(' and ' ' character is escaped and this is the problem

Glad you found what is causig this strange behaviour. I guess I have been lucky in the past where I backed up to a USB-drive as well, but that one was formatted in NTFS, since I used it in Windows before.

Hopefully you can find the root cause. In the mean time, could I manually update the xbian-snap file if only the GUI messes the file (location) up? I guess not, since I see nothing wrong in the file location in this file:
IMGDEST="/media/128gb_ultra/xbmc/backup/$(hostname)_xbian_image_$(date +%F).img"
