retro_comet1 Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 I'm running Windows ME (version 4.90 Build 3000) and Retrospect Desktop Backup 5.6.127. When Retrospect erases a CD-RW (NEC NR-7800A, 4x speed), it takes almost 40 minutes. Is there a preference setting that will speed the erase function? Thanks for any advice.

AmyJ Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Retrospect uses a long erase because not all drives properly erase in a short erase. Try high speed CD-RW media to help speed up the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarniwoop Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 I would expect there to be an option to use a short erase. This way, those who don't have a drive with this problem don't have to do long erases after establishing that their drive works fine with short erases.
