Toranaga1866 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 What is the maxum number of simultaneous backups/processes you can perform with retrospect? I installed the Retrospect on an old machine and it appeared to allow 4 processes at any given time. Whereas when I installed it on a newer machine it seemed to be capable of 8 simultaneous processes!?! Was I simply hallucinating or is it possible to perform 8 actions at the same time?
waltr Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 hi Tor, you don't mention a specific version so i'll go with 7.5. here is a link to the manual: http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=8333&p=2 check out page 14 for RAM requirements for multiple executions. 8 is the maximum. each execution requires both different source and destination. cheers.
Toranaga1866 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Posted August 7, 2006 could each of the backups be targeting different drives within a Raid 5 system? assuming each drive within the Raid was setup to have its own partition?
waltr Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 hi tor, i believe that is true. in fact, i think you could put all 8 Disk Backup Sets on a single drive and run concurrent backups (as long as each Source is different). cheers.
Toranaga1866 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Posted August 7, 2006 Awsome! thanks alot waltr, that's the best news I've had all morning.
