signol Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hi - I'm a long time user of Retrospect. I recently upgraded my copy to the latest version and soon noticed that my drives were constantly busy doing something, and i couldn't remove mounted external drives. Luckily I found Instant Scan feature under preference settings and disabled it. Voila, the problem went away. I later read about this supposedly powerful feature recently introduced. Personally i think this feature is useless and should not be on by "default". Retrospect product designers make an assumption that most users have huge amount of data to back up and Instant Scan comes to the rescue. The big downside for this function is that it constantly scans the drives and slow them down while I'm working on my machine -- more trouble than it helps.
