LiquidHappy Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I just purchased an external Maxtor drive and am currently using the trial version of Retrospect Server backup v 6.5 and I started a backup and it still hasn't completed after 24 hours. I am watching it and it is still backing up but it seems to pause for an extensive length of time after reading about 10 files. It keeps repeating this process. The part that I am copying is only 86 GB. Could somebody please help me and tell me why it is taking so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi Retrospect is going to run as fast as the hardware/environment will allow with just a bit of overhead. What you are seeing is not normal. Are you using USB1.1 or USB2? Is the write and read cache enabled on the external drive? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
