When I first found jaBuT I liked it and thought it was working, until I realized that it stops working every time you sleep/wake your computer unless you manually restart it. unfortunately I realized that after I needed to recover files I thought it was baking up.
I reported this to the developer to learn that jaBuT is made this way by design. No backup program I have ever used [besides this one] is made to stop working when you sleep your computer, and I was not expecting that behavior at all.
For me I have moved to Backup4Sure and am quite happy with it, and unlike jaBuT it has actually saved my files when I needed it to save my files.
That said I still think jaBuT is a decent program for the right tasks, though I would be very hesitant to ever trust it again. It's always hard to trust again after you've been burned, especially when you've found something that works for you.

Anyway, just heeded your tip, and blasted the last offending repeater to smithereens !
How satisfying...;-)

If two different users click the delete button, the comment will be deleted. I tried just now with the repeated comments but could only make one of them go away...

Regular users like you and me can only delete their OWN posts, sorry...;-)

I mean MIKLOs double posts (3 times the same one, 2 could be deleted if it's OK).

@jabuTBackup
Fine, thanks.
Can't see many double posts of yours, do you ?

I hope it's ok. I posted the question and answer here:

I can delete the double posts if you want.

@MIKLO
Incidentally,
Have you tried deleting multiple instances of identical posts by just clicking on the "deletion bin" icon ?...;-)
