I wanted to reproduce an error I had seen last night while trying to back something up on my laptop, so I set it all up and hit "Backup", and it said it couldn't find the output directory. Oops , I had forgotten to turn on the external drive. I turned it on, waited a minute, and tried again, and this time after responding Yes to "All contents of the working folder will be erased. Continue?", Rebuilder said, "Warning: The input directory is already small enough to fit on a DVD-5. No compression is necessary. Continue anyway?"
I checked with "Dir", and the input directory is 8.5 gig. Dude - I don't know where you're getting your DVD-5's, but mine can't take that much. :sly:
I'd guess that you aren't rechecking the directory size after reporting the first error. If I just quit and restart, everything works fine.
If you don't have an external drive, you could probably reproduce this by doing a SUBST, pointing all your paths at that, doing a SUBST /D, restarting rebuilder, and after the first error redoing the original SUBST.
