In my first encounter with the program, Rebit 5 also replaced drive icons with its own green frog, and the WebKit-based browser interface didn't always redraw pages immediately in response to changes in the program state. Both these bugs have been fixed.

Backing up to an external drive with plenty of free space, Rebit 5 worked perfectly. With its extended feature set, however, Rebit 5 is playing in the backup big leagues, where the competition includes such stalwarts as and , and where flaws in a product's procedures or safeguards are unacceptable--even in a program that costs only $25. If you buy this program, make sure that it's the updated version 5.0.1035.10512 or newer. And for goodness sake, don't try to back up to a drive that doesn't have enough room to accommodate the backup.
