I was backing up games and failed to notice my HDD had run out of space. Instead of alerting me or halting the process with an error, the app just got stuck in an infinite loop of trying to copy the one file. It would show it copied 7GB then the progress bar jumped down to 2GB and repeated until I noticed an hour later that the game still hadn't finished.

The app shouldn't go into a loop unnoticed. I would expect a warning or error to pop up, letting me know my HDD is out of space and the backup can't continue.

Also, the app won't allow you to continue once you cancel the backup to break the loop. You must restart or it never finds the key for any more discs.

Getting the information about the available free space is not as trivial as people think it is, I already try to check it before starting the whole process. Currently it is not possible to pause and resume the operation, so I can't do anything about it.
