brising Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 I've noticed (and been rather aggravated by) Retrospect completely taking over the machine whenever the backup server starts to back up a client. When it does this, it truly takes over - keystrokes are lost, the screen freezes (including the menubar clock), and absolutely nothing responds. Is this a Mac OS X bug (it could be, because unix is not supposed to behave this way), a Retrospect bug, or something completely necessary for Retrospect to run properly? I run the workgroup server on my day-to-day work machine, and it can be truly annoying to be typing along, not watching the screen, only to find a huge chuck of text missing. Yes, I know I'm supposed to have a dedicated machine for the server, but such luxuries aren't available here. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowspawn Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I notice a big hit during the catalog matching, and based on the memory usage visible in "top" suspect that more memory will help. Could be a good excuse to get your desktop computer outfitted with 1GB of RAM. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
