5.6 Full Backup not created

I just installed 5.6 in my Ultimo4K in multiboot, in a secondary slot. But the FUll Backup doesn't work.
I tried several locations, included the SSD itself, and the FB only creates the temp folders but no temp file is created. It shows 18% when it is actually doing nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this important issue?
 
I confirm: either manually launched or automatically (by its programming options) the full backup is no longer performed. I'll try, as soon as possible, if the same issue occurs to the image in slot 1.
 
Well I have done a full backup on my Ultimo4K from slots 32, 33 and 34 and flashed 1 of them to slot 1, during the extensive testing I did before we released 5.6

Depending on what you have installed, a full backup can take a long time to complete.
 
It's not a question of time: I left it running for minutes and minutes in the SSD and I've performed hundreds of FBs: they've always taken 3 minutes and a half.
But, not only that: as I said, also the scheduled one (at 1:00 amin the night) prompts me, in the morning, with the error message that the backup failed.
So it's not a matter of time or of device.
 
I was really doubtful that the problem was the fact tthat I configured the new 5.6 restoring the personal backup configuration of my 5.5.x... Anyway, I tried the same: I installed 5.6 in the 3rd slot, I didn't restore any personal configuration and I tried again: the Full Backup get stucked, without even creating the temp root file (only the subfolders are created).
This happes either with the NAS or the internal SSD.
My doubt is that this issue might affect only images installed in Multiboot or the Ultimo4K.
Surely, a friend told me that he tested 5.6 for the Ultimo4K but not in Multiboot, for an image installed as Standard, instead.
He couldn't try Ultimo4K in Multiboot in a secondary slot.
If you coders could try this scenario, it'd be very important, as FB is vital.
Thanks.

1) It's not a matter of time, because I leave it working in background. After a long time I get the error message the process failed.
2) Despite the 18% displayed, I can check it does not create the temp file by Filezilla as it has always done before.
This means that the only attempt left is to reinstall the WHOLE image, reflashing also the recovery image? I'll do it, when I'll have time... but meanwhile, for your information, I did another try: I choose to reboot into the Recovery Slot (Slot 0) and I launched the FB from there: apparently it was performed (the temp file correctly created and eventually turned into the zip file) but I got an error at the end of the process:
Errore: [Failure instance: Traceback: <class AttributeError>: "NoneType' object has no attribute 'backupstop'

May I know the command to try a FB?
I know that the command to backup a single slot is

tar -czf /media/hdd/linuxrootfsX.tar.gz /linuxrootfs

for any slot X.
Is this the FB command? I'd like to give a try to this way of performing a FB.
Thanks in advance.
