    Rebit 5, running on 3 PCs and backing up to a 1.5TB NAS drive has completely filled the drive.

    Help,

    I'm having the same problem running 1 pc and backing up to a NAS. Rebit said I would need about 50 GB. I had about 650 GB free on the NAS and Rebit grabbed it all.

    - Any time I checked the status window it was always in the process of backing up. It never showed a completion.

    - I tried to delete the backup from within Rebit. After 3 hrs it was still deleting and I gave up.

    - I then tried to delete the backup from Windows. So far it's spent a total of some 9 hours (in two sessions) and it's still going.

    - If the log file is kept with the backup, I no longer have it (because of the deletion). If it's kept with the Rebit install then I probably do.

    - When I looked, the backup directory seemed extensively recursive (I never managed to get through all the levels). Doesn't seem right - probably why it's taking so long to delete.

    RebitAdmin, I contacted support and passed along my log files.

    FWIW, I uninstalled and then re-installed and it seems to be working normally this time.

    We are working on a solution to this, however the reinstalling option brings up a good point: if you are experiencing this problem try reinstalling Rebit 5.
