Same bug. This problem appears only when my external hard drive (the backup destination) is not mounted.
It might be not a real solution, but the following fix helped here to get it working again: I changed line 103 in file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fwbackups/fwlogger.py from entry = '%s :: %s : %s' % (date, _(severity), message) to entry = '%s :: %s : %s' % (date, _(severity), message.encode("utf-8"))
PS: Probably it's a good idea to change line 106 as well then to: print entry # .encode('utf-8')
Thanks, I'll try to get this patched & released shortly.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Updating version to keep bug open.

It still seems not to be fixed (Fedora 23). Can't test it now because the next German month name with an Umlaut in it will be March 2016.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
