Fizban Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 I'm a long-time user of Retrospect. I just recently moved from my old Mac PPC version to Single Server on a PC. I've found that the amount of time required to backup my clients has about doubled, largely, it seems, because of snapshot building. I've hunted through some earlier posts and have found that disabling the backing up of security info speeds things up. So here are my questions: - Specifically, what hoops will I have to jump through when I need to do a restore, if I don't back up security info. - What other things will speed up my backups? - Why was my old Mac version so much faster?

blaqb0x Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yea, I noticed that too. Backup exec is faster and supports 2 drives at the same time. Anyway. The only think I can think off that would speed things up would be to change your backup sets frequently. I tried having one backup set between 6 machines one of which was a file server. THe backup set starts to get big. So I broke it up into one for laptops, one for workstations and another servers. This eased the load but it is still very slow.
