exxtreem Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Sleep behavior changed in OS X 10.8 and it appears to be affecting Retrospect 9 during backups. " In Mountain Lion, OS X no longer pays attention to disk activity when deciding if it's OK to put the system to sleep. Instead, Apple recommends that applications make what Apple calls "power assertions" as a way to tell the OS when they're doing some useful work that the system should stay awake for. This policy allows the OS to put the system to sleep the moment there are no applications still holding power assertions to prevent the action." http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/07/os-x-10-8/18/ I noticed backups that would normally take 2 hours still processing after 7 hours (transfer rates had slowed to a few MB/sec.) Using the Caffeine app would allow the backup to complete normally, as it did in Lion and earlier. It would appear that many apps will have to be updated to account for this new energy-saving protocol with Retrospect 9 being one them. Any information would be appreciated.

exxtreem Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 actually, they apparently fixed in in v10...a paid upgrade. brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyk Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 They've obviously abandoned v9 and f'd over all their users. Who in their right mind would pay to upgrade to v10 after this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
