Hi guys! I'm also using flexbackup on multiple servers! Is seems very 
fine, especially I like differential backups.
But I not use bzip compression, just a simple tar.
$type = 'tar';

There are no issues with it.

Also you could try to switch to tar type of backups, and then do a gzip 
by other script.
Some example of script backuping my sql databases:

          echo "Compressing backups..."
           for i in `ls ${backupsdir}/*.sql`; do
                cd ${backupsdir} && nice -n 19 tar -czv --remove-files 
-f ${i}.tar.gz `basename ${i}`
           done

  # cleaning up old data
  find $backupsdir  -name "$host*"  -a -mtime +$savedays -delete


Also keep in mind that if you have a very lage tar backup bzip will 
compress it a very long type too.
So I don't use compression for this reasons. I just need fast and simple 
backups.
