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/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/delete-files-from-rebit#post-417 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:07:30 +0000 Admin 417@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>We get an occasional request for the ability to delete individual files from the Rebit storage.

Can you not load the proper drivers when you create the recovery CD? </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/scheduled-backup#post-1019 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:00:01 +0000 ronkahn 1019@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Would like to see the ability to let Rebit run a backup on a schedule. It slows the computer down. So I disconnect the drive, do my work and when do, reconnect. But that is not very satisfactory </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/smart-backup-based-on-cpu-network-usage#post-1699 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 09:27:28 +0000 rasamassen 1699@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I am not running a critical system, which is the type of system Rebit is particularly built for in my opinion or at least Rebit's primary audience.</p> <p>I would like a feature where, when enabled, Rebit detects CPU usage and, if a network drive, network usage before running a backup. 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/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-1683 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:22:12 +0000 jayftee 1683@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>Since we can have multiple backup of the same PC on different media, say a portable USB drive and a NAS (network drive), if both drives are accessible by rebit all the time, its great, both drives will have the same information backuped.</p> <p>But say I carry around with me my USB drive to work, and run rebit locally there during the day, and then, when I go home and connect my laptop on my network, rebit starts backuping to the network drive.</p> <p>I have no way of knowing if my USB and my NAS drive both have all the version of all the files I worked on during the day.</p> <p>For that reason, I would like to see in the rebit browse explorer, a computer icon for each Rebit backup location, eg:</p> <p>MyComputer on Local Backup Drive</p> <p>MyComputer on Network \\computer\share</p> <p>Does that make any sense ? </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/rebit-5-update#post-960 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 15:51:05 +0000 heytom 960@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>The current version of Rebit 5 downloads 5.0.1035.10401. This version seems to have a lot of bugs in it. Before I buy a copy (now using trial version) I read on reviews that on Feb 18 version 5.0.1035.105120 was released. How can I get this or newer copies to try before I buy Rebit 5. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/user-interface-and-menu#post-986 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:27:48 +0000 nantuca 986@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>The user interface is slick looking but for a first time user it's not a good user experience. When I first opened the software I was looking for the typical menu to navigate through. I saw a small rectangular box. Instructions say go to Settings. How do I get to settings without a menu? Finally, I clicked that little gear icon on the lower right corner. Now I know how to navigate but maybe you should add text next to the icons because I found the discovery process extremely frustrating and I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. Thanks for listening. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/add-a-switch-that-will-stop-the-creation-of-autoruninf#post-996 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:13:38 +0000 scotteve 996@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>My anti-virus software stops the creation/execution of autorun.inf files. So everytime Rebit5 tries to create it I get a popup. Please include a setup switch to allow this to be disabled. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/disable-floppy-drive-check#post-271 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 05:37:26 +0000 d.lindner 271@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Rebit does a continuous check of removable media in the background. When a floppy drive is present at the machine, this results in nasty noises.<br /> As the floppy drive of a desktop computer isn't easily "disconnectable", a software function to exclude specific drives from the check would solve the problem.</p> <p>I'm suspecting some USB card reader driver to slow down the PC, too. This happens when no card is present and the check occurs. This would be solved by the above feature, too. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/remove-a-computer-image-from-drive#post-483 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:06:37 +0000 shauna 483@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I have 3 computers to back up on one drive. I have restored a computer one time. This has created 2 images of the first computer. I would like to remove the old image of the restored hard drive to leave more space for back ups. How can this be accomplished. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/disable-nag-messages#post-231 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 08:47:40 +0000 Dennis 231@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I would like to stop the nag message from appearing while I watch movies or during any other period of time.

At the moment the application that I use writes to many files at a time. If I want to go back to a previous time I have to go through all of the Rebit sub directories comparing the date and time when they were saved to manually restore the correct files.<br /> If I could access the files directly myself,I think that it would be relatively easy to write an application to do it. </p> <p>How about an API to the Rebit data? </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/proxy-support-for-activation-update#post-362 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 18:30:59 +0000 Madcat 362@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I am behind a http proxy for internet access and cannot activate the software automatically.</p> <p>It would be nice to be able to specify a proxy server so I can check for new versions, and activate the software </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/a-second-backup#post-294 Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:05:09 +0000 Stevenson 294@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>The only absolute security is found in second backups. Since I regard online backup as less than satisfactory -- some have reported bad experiences when trying to restore -- the answer would be a second backup to a second external drive which would be then moved to another building. This drive might be updated every two or three days, insuring minimum data loss should total disaster occur. The latest two or three days of the primary data sources would also need protection. </p> <p>But Rebit will not allow this. It works with only one drive. Granted it is great for casual backup -- I really do like this cutting edge product -- but for professional grade protection in depth of data that must never be lost in the worst case scenario, I can't use it. I don't like have two seperate backup systems for different machines, but that's how it is. Rebit is too good to pass up for non-critical machines, but not good enough for the most important stuff. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/feature-which-we-want-to-see-in-rebit#post-221 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:27:21 +0000 Mas 221@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>1. Need a folder/place on our PC HDD which Rebit do not backup so that unwanted stuff do not get backed up.<br /> 2. Need more user control on Rebit (by HappySack)<br /> - Remove some restore points<br /> - Set max # days to keep old versions<br /> - Reset (delete) a drive.<br /> 3. Rebit backup suspended should be more clear to end user </p>
