kevinf94 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I am running Retro Workgroup Server 6 on a dual-1Ghz-G4 connected to a Sony StorStation AIT Library. I have noticed that after Retro does a scan of my networked clients, it takes forever (8 - 12min) before it starts backing up files. The back-up window sits on "Continuing execution" before it snaps into the actual back-up mode. There has to be a quicker way for Retro to start the actual back-up process once the scan of the machines are done. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi What SCSI card and driver version are you using? Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Are you trying to run an Immediate Backup, or are you running a script? With multiple sources, I find it much better to create a script. In an immediate backup, all the volumes need to be scanned and matched and have their snapshots, etc., written to the catalog file before the backup begins. This can take a long time. With a script, each volume is treated as a separate backup, and only one volume is scanned and matched before being backed up. The total delay may be similar, but the delay before each volume is much shorter. You also aren't sitting around waiting to respond to a dialog box, since scripts automatically run in Unattended mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
