fivespan Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I have searched the forums for other users with a similar issue but I was surprised to find no one else is complaining about how slow the Retrospect interface is to respond user input. Maybe it is just our system? Dual 2.2GHz Dell P4 with hyperthreading ON 1 Gig of RAM Lots of HD 85 Clients in Proactive Backup, (70% usually connected to the network) Rarely does Retrospect consume 80% of CPU cycles, but it is always slow slow slow! It normally draws between 0 and 15%. It is the only application running on this computer. Retro uses 1 - 6 channels simultaneously. On this system and under this load ... Should it take 10 - 30 seconds to switch between Activity Monitor tabs? Should it take nearly a minute to open the client list? Should the hourglass cursor constantly engaging (20 times per minute)? Should the program ever be so busy that close boxes and buttons don't provide user feedback? This is one frustrating program to deal with under our load conditions. As an experiment, I have reduced the size of the Log to 2 Meg. No measureable improvement. Any suggestions for getting Retro to start acting less like Alpha software?

AmyJ Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 To date, we have not done any testing with the Intel Hyper-Threading technology. Do you see the same problem with Hyper-Threading turned off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyJ Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Do you see the same slow response time when _no_ executions are running? Running 6 executions at the same time is very processor intensive. Certain executions, such as scanning and matching, are more stressful on the system then others.

lebisol Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 hello people, to jump in...I am having the same issues on the win2K adv. server. It freezes up the server just by using any function in it....configure scripts...configure devices...it even locks up my terminal service so it is unusable for about 1 hrs or whatever the Retrospect is doing. on the performance monitor though there is no indication of procesor or memory peaks....any idea what is going on? verions 6.5 worked just fine is there an overlooked update that needs to be done? 2x xeons at 3.2Ghz 8 GM ram win2000adv. Retrospect Multi Server 7 with add ons Many thanks for the advice! All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Is proactive backup running? Who have you configured to be the Retrospect backup user? What is the CPU usage on the machine like when this occurs? Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
