Large Installer File


Recommended Posts

This is really just a question out of curiosity, not a complaint. I was just wondering why the installer file for the base version of Retrospect 10 for Mac is so large--637.7 MB. It seems intuitively like the code for a backup program wouldn't be that big, but it's been many years since the last time I upgraded my Retrospect (back at Retrospect 6), so there is probably a lot going on in the background that takes many more of 1's and 0's. Anybody know in general terms why the large size?

Here is the rough breakdown for Retrospect for Mac 10.0.1 (105) at about 600MB:

- 160MB: Client Installers for multiple OSes & languages (for user)

- 160MB: Client Installers for multiple OSes & languages (used by Retrospect Console)

- 160MB: Client Updaters for multiple OSes & languages (used by Retrospect Console)

- 45MB: Engine installer

- 7MB: Retrospect Console

- 45MB: Console Resources for 11 languages

- ...: various graphics and docs
