Well, if you start it via the command line, you might get some error messages to cut and past  into a post and mark it up as code.

I get

"something is wrong!
Probably you have stopped the installation or the repository server is down.
Otherwise check your internet connection, refresh package list and try again.
Exiting"

I didn't stop the installation
my internet connection is fine
I refreshed the package list using aptus.

Do it in an old school way, means i a terminal emulator:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sparky-backup-sys

and let me know is fine, please.

Edit:
Hold on, what backup apps you'd like to install: sparky backup sys or sparky backup apps?

Edit2:
There were 2 spelling issues, that's why the APT coudn't install the app.
Refresh package list and install the latest version of 'sparky-aptus-extra' package to resolve it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sparky-aptus-extra

Then try to install the backup tool via APTus again.
