    I installed Rebit, and it seemed to start doing things. But, how do I know Rebit is really working?

    The best way to determine Rebit is working properly is to look for "Recovery Points" in the Properties panel.

    1. Right-click the small Rebit icon in the lower right corner (system tray) and select "Properties"
    2. In the Properties window, click the "My Rebit" tab
    3. Confirm that there is a Recovery Point time for every 24 hours that the Rebit has been connected and the computer has been powered on

     
    In between these time points, Rebit operates in a continuous fashion. While you are using the mouse or keyboard, Rebit remains idle. Then, when a 15-30 second break occurs in mouse and keyboard activity, Rebit copies files that have been created or changed (assuming they were saved).

    The Rebit status display appears when you move the mouse over the small Rebit icon in the lower right corner of the screen (the tray icon) and hover or click on the icon. This display should normally display "Backed up as of" with a current date and time.

    If the Rebit has been disconnected for a period of time, it intelligently backs up new or changed files when the Rebit is connected once again. When the Rebit software is actively copying files, the Rebit tray icon will brighten and dim. This will not occur while the mouse or keyboard is in use.
