I'd guess blockage in the pipe somewhere.  I had a bad one last March... 
  backup somewhat like yours.  The PVC line out of the house to the 
septic system is only like 4" underground;  apparently during 
construction, something took a cut out of it.  Looked like a roto-tiller 
blade maybe.  Anyway, the tree roots found it and were VERY happy for 
the easy meal.
