Restrospect 5.0 in OS X Hangs on execution


Recommended Posts

I have just upgraded to Restrospect Desktop Backup version 5.0 for Mac OS X. I am running it under the following configuration:

 

 

 

Mac OS X Version 10.1.3

 

Power Mac G4 Dual 1GHz Processors

 

1GB of RAM

 

Twin 80GB hard Drives

 

Adaptec 2906 SCSI card

 

Sony SDT-S9000 DDS3 Tape drive

 

 

 

The problem I am having is when the backup job is executed, it scans the files selected for backup, and then the program hangs and stops responding. Help!

There have been reports in other posts that a firmware update to the Sony drives helps with problems under OS X (this hasn't been substantiated in our testing labs, but many users are seeing it):
