jsinger Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Even if a Duplicate only has one file to duplicate, when Retrospect goes into the "closing" portion of the duplication it appears to be "closing" thousands of files with long alphanumeric files names... even though there was only one file that needed to be duplicated. This closing process takes a really long time (15-20 minutes). The actual duplication of the file takes seconds. Why is this happening and is it normal? OSX 10.5.1, Retrospect 6.1.

Mayoff Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 It is normal. We are copying your OS X permissions with every duplicate process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsinger Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Is it doing it to every file on the drive? Why wouldn't it only update that files that have changed. I'm sure there is a reason its being done, but a duplication that spends 10 seconds on the actual file duplication and then 20+ minutes closing files that didn't even change seems a bit wasteful. Also, I have the "unattended" setting set to "quit". However, when the script is done, Retrospect doesn't quit, it stays open. How can I get it to quit once the script is done? Thanks!

Note the wording of "unattended" application setting: "Take this action when an unattended execution completes and no other scripts are scheduled to run within n hours" where n is the "Look ahead time" set in the "Schedule" section of the application preferences. - Do you have any scripts scheduled to run within that time window? - Is your Duplicate running in Unattended mode (either by a Script's Schedule or via the Run menu)?
