It throws exception on "Create Backup" button

It's this NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.netbeans.nbbackupsettings.Backup.analyze(Backup.java:72)
at org.netbeans.nbbackupsettings.Backup.(Backup.java:35)
at org.netbeans.nbbackupsettings.Main.backupActionPerformed(Main.java:242)
at org.netbeans.nbbackupsettings.Main.access$200(Main.java:16)
at org.netbeans.nbbackupsettings.Main$3.actionPerformed(Main.java:68)
at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:1995)
....

Hope you fix this soon!

Backing up settings doesn't produce any results or errors

Windows XP, fully patched, NetBeans 6.0.1. After browsing to the installation folder and browsing to a folder to save the generated backup file, I click "Create Backup" and nothing happens - no error, no confirmation, and no file (I have searched all drives). Any documentation or examples that I can refer to? This plugin would solve a significant problem where I work...
