BDMSTUDIOS Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Very happy to came across RetroSpect and I downloaded the 45-days trial MAC/WIN As I have a Mac Pro 3.1 using BootCamp with Windows 8 Pro x64, I was wondering if I can just make a usefull backup of my BootCamp partition [WIN8_PROx64] using RS for MAC 10.0.1 (105)? Haven't found the option to make a recovery CD/DVD yet! Is there a way to configure RS v10.0.1(105) 45-trial version using a much lower CPU usage profile? During backup using 200% and it nearly freezes my Mac Pro 3.1 and at idle it still uses 100%, see images. Thanks in advance for your replies and I hope to learn a lot about RS from you all! Cheers and greetings from The Netherlands, Berend Edited March 2, 2013 by BDMSTUDIOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofstede Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Wow, you are busy on a lot of user-forums lately . The high CPU usage is a bug in the instant scan feature that will probably be fixed in the next release. For the time being you can disable this feature. There is also a pre-release version available but I don't know if it can be used if someone is running the trial version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Lee Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 We indeed have been tuning performance of Instant Scan (beyond the pre-release version) on our day-to-day production Windows PCs and Macs. Will share more specifics very soon. In addition to performance improvements, the upcoming version also makes it easier to disable/enable Instant Scan using the Retrospect UI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDMSTUDIOS Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks all of you for your prompt and informative replies! Interesting things to read/try! Keep you posted about the pre-release of RS10.1 Hope I'll manage to sort things out for myself before the end of the 45-day trial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed Hof, just by buying an new Synology NAS gave my a lot of discovery and reading to do! This is what I see in the instant backup tray-icon! Or am I interpreting your reply in the wrong way?

Hofstede Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 You have to disable the Instant scan service through the OS X terminal. I don't know the exact commands for it but you can find them easily on this forum. There are allready more threads about this issue.

BDMSTUDIOS Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 SORRY, wrong thread! After deleting the folder (as mr. Lee directed), RS10 has "left the building"! There must be something of a USER-error here trying to reinstall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
