Express 5 s-l-o-w USB backup


Recommended Posts

I have been trying Retrospect 5 on a 266 MHz iMac going into a VST USB hard drive, making a duplicate.

 

 

 

I say, trying, because, for some reason (I wanna know, that's why I am bring this up, here) data transfer to the USB HD is V-E-R-Y slow, about 4.5 MB/s.

 

 

 

When I use Express 4.3, transfer runs 25-30 MB/s.

 

 

 

The Duplicate already existed (created with v4.3), so I was just updating for recent changes, so only about 125 MB was involved.

 

 

 

I am running OS 9.0.4 on the iMac. Does anyone know if Express 5 is impaired with this combination of OS and equipment? Why this big difference in functionality?

 

 

 

Mike
