Error message From Registery Backup on a UEFI system.

Yes I do have it setup to remove old backups. I'll turn it off and get back to you with my findings.
Shane:
I noticed it after a huge mistake on my part lol
I was adding the new code to clearing old backups while keeping a minimum amount of backups. Well I messed up on one part and the code started deleteing everything on my work drive lol
Out of 368GB I only had 171GB left. Thankfully I have nightly backups and I am restoring it now.
This was a blessing in disguise though. What had happened is I had caused it to send the delete path to the root of the drive because the loop error out on me. So I redid how it does it now and put in a ton of safe guards. It now does it better than ever. One of the safe guards is if the path to delete doesn't match the backup location in the drive it stops.
This was never a problem before, it was my own mistake.
I also redid the shutdown to wait and let the clearing of old backups finish before it closes. So far working great. New version will be 1.5.0.
I will have it done here shortly :-)

One thing I don't understand about the error. I've had the error restarting my machine after I already took my first and only auto backup of the day. I realize the task get's fired off everytime I log on but why after RB sees that I already ran my auto backup would it try to erase old files?
Shane:
It shouldn't. So perhaps that isnt the problem. I did change how it shuts down though. So this might fix it. Here is v1.5.0 ready to go. Lets see if it still crashes for you.
Replace your exe with this one and lets see how it does.

What does the 'Keep n Backups' do in conjunction with the 'Delete backups that are n Days or older' setting? I'm not clear on this.
I ran one test and I had no error. Not really any indication since RB would work at times. When I fire up my machine tomorrow it will make a new backup and delete backups older than 7 days. We'll see what happens but I think it might take awhile before we can confirm it is fixed unless I get an error then we know it isn't.
