jschaffe Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 I backup a Win2K machine to my Mac OSX QuickSilver system. Sometimes the backups are fast (50-60MB/sec or better during the backup phase), but other times (like now ) they're very slow (12MB/min). Same CD-RW drive, same versions of Retrospect and the client, etc. The only suggestion of a pattern is that when certain incompressible files (.zip or .exe's that contain compressed installation data) come very early in the backup, it's slow, but when I don't have that type of files or they come late in the backup, it's fast. I also notice that the Win2K client with no other activity runs at nearly 100% cpu when it's slow, but less than 100% (i think) when it's fast. Does this suggest anything? Are the PC compressed file types listed in retrospect's don't compress list? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
