gargiulo Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi all, I just connected an external harddrive to my pc using the firewire connection. At the beginning retrospect worked as expected and large backups went smooth. But some days ago retrospect begun to behave strangely. When I do a normal backup retrospect takes forever (10/15 minutes) before beginning to do the backup (few seconds). What can I check to make sure this is not an hardware problem? I'm running XP sp2. Thanks in advance for any suggestione. gargiulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi I would run a disk scan on the external disk. I would also disable the Windows XP system restore feature on the external drive. Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargiulo Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Perfect. It was the system restore utility, enabled on the external drive. Once disabled Retrospect behaves as expected. Thanks for the help, really appreciated. . gargiulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
