mfs Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 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?

mfs Posted May 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 A bit of additional info: plugging the VST USB drive directly into the iMac instead of through a hub made no difference -- v4.3 duplicates fast, v5 duplicates slow. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 What OS? Is this true for small test subvolumes as well as for the whole drive? What version of Retrospect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
