Your rear brake is rubbing on the disk because it is worn out. Your others are probably close to worn out. Soon you might not have any brakes. Then you will step on the brakes and not have any. Hit something cheap when that happens.

--------------

Please check the sliders...on rear disc brake systems the calipers must be free to slide on steel pins. Over time the pins seize and the caliper sticks or binds on the pins. When that happens the caliper will not return to its normal position and will cause the brake pads to drag on the rotor.
