Skip,
I've some more elements to get to a solution:

1. If I try to get the backup done from the ENGLISH version of the admin page, I get a perfectly working file (no corruption)

2. If I try to get the backup done from the ITALIAN version of the admin page, I get the same error as I reported (corrupted file).

This make me confident the error may be caused from the encoding of the pages, which is something I changed recently (as reported on my first post about this problem, some posts earlier...).

ALSO I've got the same error reported earlier (the one which made you think I entered a non present folder in the exclusion list) ONLY with the backup called from the Italian admin page...

BUT this should not happen, due to the fact that the contents of /admin/backup_zconfig.php is the same for both languages...

I double checked the files I translated and I don't think I entered any error... (but might let you see them for your investigation, if needed, just let me know how to...).

Any further idea ?
