knowmacpro Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I have 2 boot volumes - one it 10.4 Tiger and one in 10.5.1 Leopard. While duplicating an identical volume to the same backup drive, the new Retrospect in Leopard was copying much much slower than my earlier version of Retrospect booted off a Tiger volume. Like 1 gig a minute slower. Anybody else notice this??? I'm using a Mac Pro copying to SATA 2 drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Leopard system disks have a lot more files then a tiger volume. The result is a longer duplicate. For best speed, you should use backup and not duplicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowmacpro Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi - thanks. But this was not duplicating a Leopard volume. It was just video data. - Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 This would be an excellent time to describe your configuration thoroughly and accurately, and to explain exactly what you are doing and exactly what you see when you do it. Readers here do not know what "an identical volume" might be (internal physical volume? External logical volume?), of if the speed hit is in the total amount of time for the Duplicate (including scanning and matching) or if it is a real-time observation during the writing phase.
