There were a few people here who said they were using this.
I have mine backing up to a NAS, and I keep running out of disk space! It's a 500GB NAS, and I've set the back up consolidate when it reaches 200GB, but somehow it gets itself in a twist, and usually when I'm not looking.
Yesterday I realised it hadn't done any backups for 10 days. On the NAS was 460GB worth of backups, half of which had GUID like extensions (this is something to do with the consolidate I think).
After faffing for ages, I couldn't find any way to get it to continue, so I deleted all the suffixed backup files and the last couple in the hope that the incremental process would figure it out and do a new incremental backup starting from the last successful one. But no. It started backing up to the wrong place (not sure how that happened), and then wouldn't let me choose the right place. Everything I did made the GUI come up with an error message box with just the filename and no explanation.
In the end I deleted the job, and started afresh.
Anyone else using it in this way, and does it work?
