Rebit 5 does not have one. Some Windows XP users will find that selecting the actual hard drive from the drives list instead of the Generic Volume and then clicking on disconnect will work better.</p> <p>On some systems the safely disconnect feature is not working correctly, or it could be the case that a program like an antivirus scanner are holding the drive tied up with constant scans and hence preventing it from being disconnected.<br /> There are programs out there that will tell you which program is preventing a drive from disconnecting. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/rebit-desperately-needs-an-off-switch#post-3612 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:54:08 +0000 rfesjian 3612@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>"Safely disconnect" used to be an option with Rebit 3 but it never worked for me. I don't know where a "Safely Disconnect" button exists within Rebit 5. Does it? Clicking on the regular "Safely Remove Hardware" icon doesn't work either. I get the message "The device 'Generic volume' can't be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later." Later is never late enough, because I never get a different message.<br /> I appreciate your feedback nevertheless. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/rebit-desperately-needs-an-off-switch#post-3609 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:04:09 +0000 RebitAdmin 3609@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Try using Safely Disconnect on the Rebit external drive.

Moving my laptop to different locations within our building.<br /> 2. To facilitate hibernation when I take the laptop home at night. My laptop takes at least 3 minutes to boot up from a shut down and only a few seconds from hibernation mode. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/new-years-resolution-cleaning-up-the-backup#post-3562 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:17:58 +0000 RebitAdmin 3562@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Honestly one should not worry about such things since Rebit will automatically delete older files to make room for new ones when it is reaching capacity. If you do want to start over with the backups, the easiest way is to run a Quick Format on the backup drive and have it re-backup everything. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/new-years-resolution-cleaning-up-the-backup#post-3544 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:20:38 +0000 drdively 3544@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Let's say I want to clean up the backup. Seems like the easist thing to do would be to cleam up the computer itself, then delete the current backup and start again. Any better suggestions? For instance, I am sure there are a dozen old quicken datasets, many old files no longer needed, etc. I am concerned about my backup being so bloated it would be cumbersome to restore if I needed to do so. Any thoughts? </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/rebit-desperately-needs-an-off-switch#post-3495 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:03:55 +0000 RebitAdmin 3495@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Rebit 5 has a Pause option that disabled Rebit from backing up. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/rebit-desperately-needs-an-off-switch#post-3481 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:09:43 +0000 robertebrown94306 3481@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I think it was the SaveMe version of Rebit which made it possible to store non-Rebit data on the same hard drive. But this utility is virtually unusable because there's no way to turn Rebit off so that it won't start up upon connection. The last thing I want is for Rebit to be operating when I'm trying to store or retrieve non-Rebit data from the hard drive. Does Rebit 5 address this obvious requirement? </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/delete-files-from-rebit#post-3386 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:47:12 +0000 RebitAdmin 3386@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>We have had quite a few requests for this feature, and the developers are looking into adding this into a future release. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/delete-files-from-rebit#post-3382 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:58:55 +0000 chalil39 3382@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Sir,<br /> I would like to include a feature "EXCLUDE FOLDERS".

If I am running a CPU intensive process or sending a lot of data through the network, it is likely that I need the CPU and network space Rebit is taking by running live backups. Though I can hit pause, often in a video game or while watching a movie online I will forget to do this. Rebit should be smart enough, like my antivirus software that doesn't run its full system scans when I'm using the machine, to go into a low power mode when the system is being used intensively. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/scheduled-backup#post-1698 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 09:22:29 +0000 rasamassen 1698@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I second scheduled backups. Live backups is great, but I'm not running a critical system and live backups results in a lot of white noise from the drive as well as a waste of energy. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/timed-backups-based-on-drive#post-1697 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 09:17:58 +0000 rasamassen 1697@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Though I like it that Rebit backs up absolutely everything, I dislike it that the Rebit backup drive is always running. I would like the options to specify "Backup every 30 minutes" or "Backup every hour". I understand part of Rebit's security is regularly backing up everything on the system, but backing up everything every second is a waste of energy. As an energy conscious person, I turn off my Rebit drive most of the time because it is always running when its on.</p> <p>Having a backup is critical, but I'm the low-end user Rebit was built for - no critical systems. Thus, an hourly backup is plenty.</p> <p>Moreover, I backup to two locations. One location is a network drive. Particularly because of it's network location, the occasional backup over the regular backup would reduce load on my network. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/rebit-5-multiple-backup-should-have-multiple-browse#post-1688 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 08:13:44 +0000 RebitAdmin 1688@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Your suggestion has been forwarded to our development team for integration into our software.

I guess the feature request is twofold:</p> <ul> <li>Being able to exclude files and folders from being written to the backup. (Privacy; security; copyright; large files such as VM images.)</li> <li>Being able to remove the above from a backup if already backed up earlier.</li> </ul> <p><em> </em><br /> As for the first: note that Apple's Time Machine also allows third party software to exclude itself from being backed up. For example: VM software often allows a user to exclude VM images, and then sets the <code>com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem</code> "extended attribute" on the files that need to be skipped. It might be nice if Windows software can exclude itself from being backed up by well known backup software too.</p> <p>(Sorry for posting kind of the same thing twice earlier; I didn't see I already commented on this.

Adobe is <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplatform/2011/01/on-improving-privacy-managing-local-storage-in-flash-player.html">still improving</a> other privacy issues, but the fact that they only started doing so after complaints maks me think that soon other things will be abused for the same thing.
