I've gotten that "massive file activity" message after using the Win 9X defragger (which I no longer use).  All it means is that it suspends keeping the history.  You'd get the same result if you disable it before you delete all the files.  If you've had it for a while, you may have version 2.x.  They are now up to version 3.x, which is more sophisticated.  If you have two hard drives on your system (or more), Goback will want to install a Gobackio.bin on each one.  I have not seen anything on using another drive to store the *.bin file for your C drive. I'm not sure why you would want to keep a history that big.  If you want to update go to www.roxio.com and navigate to the Goback page.
