davenit1 Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 That has saved my butt a couple times. If I disable it, I lose all past recovery sets? people see this as a viable alternative???? No way... Time to find another program unless there is another work around... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 You can use the 6.0 disk backup sets rather then file backup sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenit1 Posted April 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I am running 5.6. Anything I can do with it. I must backup to a hard drive NOT removeable media. To much data... Thanks!!! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 The smaller the backup set, the less likely you will run into trouble with System Restore. You can try saving the file backup set to a different disk, and turn off system restore for that volume only. The Disk Backup Feature in 6.0 is ideal for backup onto a hard disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelenko Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 What is causing you to think that you have to turn off System Restore in XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Windows XP has a "System Restore" feature turned on by default. This option will attempt to cache large files created by Retrospect, which results in heavy disk activity and what appears like a freeze. Mutli-GB file backup sets are likely to trigger this behavior. If you wait an extended period of time, the disk activity will stop and the computer will once again be usable. To increase backup stability try turn off "System Restore" in the System Properties for "all drives" by going to: Control Panels > System > System Restore.

jelenko Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 I think I get it. I've got a couple 3GB backup files on my second hard drive - but I've got System Restore turned off for all the drives except the system one. That's why I'm not seeing this behaviour.
