helix Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Following a recycle backup I am unable to effectively use the CPU unless I restart. Everything is slow and jerky. Have Desktop 5.6.127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Hi This is most likely a coincidence. Retrospect does not do anything special on the system after a recycle backup. Can you give some details about your backup device? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helix Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I have great difficulty with the computer (appears to be losing memory although I have 256MB) when I back up my C drive. It happened again tonight during the comparing step. Micron 500 MHZ Pentium 3 256MB 120GB HD APC/Sony DAT tape streamer I have my HD partitioned: C (for system, programs, etc.), D (for files), and E (swap) I don't have any problems backing up the D drive. Just on the C drive where the system resides. I don't know if setting up my backup criteria for that drive should be in segments rather than the whole C partition or not. If that's what I need to do I don't think I know just how best to do that. I would certainly look forward to an email on this at your earliest convenience. Thank you HELIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 After a backup, try going into the Task Manager to see where the resources are being used. Your system may be having some memory management issues. How much data is on your C: vs. your D:? What is the capacity vs. used space on these drives?

helix Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I have a 120GB HD with 6 on C and 3 on D Before I do a backup I turn just about everything off including the task scheduler I do a compare. Could that use more memory than I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
